Songwriting: Catch and Release
What’s in a song and how do I write one? "A song is a made thing, and is most often composed of words, melody, rhythm, and a shape that holds them all," writes Cris Williamson. "We will write every day. We will explore different ways of writing, which will allow you to access your inner river of thoughts. We will catch words from that river, fasten them to the page, and add music to allow a song to emerge. We will employ a combination of solo and group writing. A compressed style of writing can enable us to be more aware, to be better listeners, and to realize that songs live everywhere.
