It is possibly the most commonly asked question of all time when discussing the process of songwriting - 'do you start with the music first... or the lyrics?'

In this episode we examine different songwriting processes, discuss how starting a song in different ways will ultimately give you different results and consider some practical methods for finishing more songs.

Do you have thoughts or feelings that are just too personal to share with others? How vulnerable and honest do you need to be with your lyric writing, and is there really anything wrong with keeping some of your creative output just for yourself?

In this episode we tackle the topic of sharing our work publicly - why we do it, how we do it and when it makes the most sense to do it.
