Songwriting Tip of the Day #13

Tip #13: Don't be scared to pull from your dark memories

So something unique about songwriting is, no one has to know if your songs are true or not, all they have to know is that they believe what you are singing.  You can easily hide your secrets in your songwriting.  You can hide them layered in metaphors, or you can put them right on the surface in your lyrics.  But the beauty is, no one but you has to know what is true and what is fiction. So don't be scared to pull for your darkest memories, deepest fears, or most heart wrenching regrets! 


(Also just on a human to human note, holding your secrets in isn't good for you! Songwriting can be an excellent way to just spit them out, even if you never show anyone the song!)
