Inside The Book: It's Out!
We are celebrating the release of this: the Musicality book! Woohoo! This book has been in the works for two years or 15 years, depending on how you measure it, and it's so exciting that it's out. But it's taken me a while to do this episode because, as I'm going to unpack today, it's been a difficult process. So the book is out. Sort of, mostly. And it kills me that it's not just a clear-cut "It's out! We're done! Hooray!" In this episode, I want to share a bit about why it's still slightly fuzzy as to whether it's out or not, and a bit of behind the scenes of everything that's been going on...

313: Curiosity And Craft, with Benny Romalis (How To Write Songs)
How does Elton John write such incredible chord progressions? What is it that made Lennon and McCartney songs so distinctive, so that they became the songwriting legends they're now known for being? And what does Sting and Radiohead do differently in their songwriting that you can learn from? These are just a few of the fascinating topics covered by Benny Romalis and Keppy Coutts on the popular YouTube channel "How To Write Songs". And today I'm joined by Benny for a mini interview that I think you're gonna love, exploring his views on musicality, where his songwriting expertise came from, and how curiosity and "thinking like a mechanic" can open up songwriting for you too.
