Bob Carlisle came to my church today. For those who dont know, he is a prolific songwriter most famous for a song called Butterfly Kisses (a song that does to fathers of girls what Cats in the Cradle does to fathers of boys….namely, puts us in the fetal position). He performed as part of the service and did a great job. I may or may not have cried during Butterfly Kisses. I got the chance to talk with Bob between services about songwriting. I know some of you are also songwriters, so I thought Id share his advice: - Ask yourself: What moves you? Write about what gives you goosebumps. ONLY write about things you know. - Write a lot of songs. Good ones, bad ones, long ones, short ones. Write as many songs as you can. Write, write, write! - Dont chase what is popular on radio. Youll always end up one step behind. Simple stuff, but absolutely foundational and potentially revolutionary. - dave
