Build The Song with Robbie Silverarm017 Songwriting doesn’t have to be so “raw & real”In this episode I describe how that song writers have a often limited themselves by thinking they have to be so raw and real with their emotions and their experiences as they incorporate them into songwriting.Each time you write a song that has depressing lyrics, you will have to revisit those same emotions every time you sing that song.
