âPush through the feelings of: Iâm worthless, this sucksâ: can anyone learn to be a top songwriter?
Fri, 03 May 2024 04:00:29 GMT
Songwriting courses are exploding in popularity, with everyone from Mark Ronson to Alicia Keys as teachers. On a retreat in north Wales, our folk music critic tries to write her first song
Imagine youâve spent the past 20 years writing about songs but never had the chops to write one. This is my penance: sitting in a room in north Wales, with a tiny keyboard and notebook spidery with attempted lyrics, the only rhythm in my ears my rave-energy heartbeat, the only melody in my mind the lilting panic of my inner critic going: âArgh!â
Itâs the final day of a four-day songwriting course at Literature Walesâs 16th-century HQ, Ty Newydd Writing Centre, led by Brian Briggs of folk band Stornoway and Welsh poet and songwriter Paul Henry. Tonight, I have to perform an original song with two relative strangers, in front of people I didnât know four days earlier. This particular terror is the climax of a bigger endeavour on my part: to explore the growing popularity of songwriting courses, and to find out if they work.

âWho wants to stare at a computer?â Pop duo the Lemon Twigs on the joys of analogue life
Thu, 02 May 2024 14:11:32 GMT
As teenagers, the New York brothers swiftly rose to become retro pop darlings â until they werenât. Now older, wiser and taking inspiration from the travails of their family, theyâre making their best music yet
The Lemon Twigs are deep in one of the great songwriting grooves of the 21st century. Or is it the previous century? Their new album, A Dream is All We Know, is a fabulous pop confection that magically transports the listener to the idyll of Abbey Road studios in 1966, if the Beatles were actually two brothers in their mid-20s from Long Island, New York. However, Brian and Michael DâAddario are reluctant to write off their music as nostalgic escapism.
âYes, we record on analogue tape, and we donât think being on phones all day is a good way to live our lives,â sighs Michael at their Brooklyn studio. âBut itâs not like weâre rejecting âcontemporary lifeâ. And I donât know what weâre really excluding from our lives by not using social media or recording on Pro Tools, anyway. Who wants to stare at a computer when theyâre doing something thatâs supposed to be fun?â
