With this book's guidance, songwriters will begin writing songs strong in emotion, clear in idea, musically beautiful, and supremely salable. Great songs are a highly disciplined art form; they are 100 percent creativity yet 100 percent structured. This book teaches why you mustn't second-guess song ideas before they can evolve, why your intention in writing a song must be clear, how to put words together in easy-to-sing lines, how to marry lyrics to muse, and how to write a strong melodic hook. About the Author Pat and Pete Luboff are professional songwriters with cuts by Snoop Dogg, Patti LaBelle, Bobby Womack, a song in the John Travolta movie Experts, and more. The Luboffs have been teaching songwriting workshops through the National Academy of Songwriters since 1979 and have taken their workshops on the road throughout California as well as Minnesota, Arizona, and New Mexico. As music business photojournalists for the past 15 years, the Luboffs have interviewed hundreds of music publishers, record company executives, artists, and songwriters.
