Billy Bragg has songwriting advice to offer. Or does he?
This video shows the UK artist and ubiquitous left-wing socialist interviewing with Daytrotter.com/Seagate Creative.
Okay, maybe I am getting bored with all the attention going to musicians and songwriters with this political bent. Sorry, people. The musical world has a rich history of their works. Anyway, here is the advice I hear from many talented songwriters summed up in a paraphrased quote from Rudyard Kipling:
“There are 90 ways to write a song, and every single one of them is right!”
Fine, Billy. I mean thanks for the great advice and instruction. Not! I guess in true European Socialist fashion, I am much better off asking for the government to help train me to be a rock star! That’ll guarantee me success, right? Do ya think?
😉
Actually, I like Billy Bragg and his video. I am just having a little catharsis at his expense. I sincerely thank him for sharing his advice, because it’s a common answer and pretty good one. Insight and wisdom comes from all corners. Just keep applying it to your own dreams in a way that fits you!
That’s how to write a song and be a better songwriter!
