About this listen
A ROUGH TRADE and PITCHORK BOOK OF THE YEAR
'A guide to rediscovering the joys of creating that we all felt as children.' NEW YORK TIMES
One of the century's most feted singer-songwriters, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, digs deep into his own creative process to share his unique perspective about song-writing and offers a warm, accessible guide to writing your first song, championing the importance of making creativity part of your everyday life and experiencing the hope, inspiration and joy that accompanies it.
'Fascinating.' ROUGH TRADE
'Eloquent.' INDEPENDENT
'Nourishing.' PITCHFORK
'A proselytiser for the act of songcraft.' FINANCIAL TIMES
'A smart, funny, relentlessly practical guide.' GQ
'Delightful.' ESQUIRE
'Incisigve.' VULTURE
'A book written by a musician that doesn't relay autobiographical details in some form of (even loose) chronology is unusual; they typically have their own story to tell and that's it, good or bad. Writing a book that goes some way to explaining the process behind their songwriting is something else altogether. Jeff Tweedy, in How to Write One Song, achieves this.' IRISH TIMES

Insightful, emotive and much more than a “how to”...
Tweedy demonstrates the mindset, process and character of a songwriter. By unravelling and anticipating challenges like insecurity and creative dry spells, he paints the writing of one song as an entirely human experience. This intimate portrayal speaks to the resilience of a creative spirit and the importance being there for one another.

Inspiring….
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and learnings on how to write one song Jeff. It is a wonderful toolbox of tips and tricks that I can apply to my own jumble of “mumblings and scribblings”! You’ve inspired me to continue the journey.

Insightful look into the hard work and genius of the Wilco front-man
So great to have Jeff Tweedy explain the process that he uses to write songs and provide an insight to the discipline required to become a prolific as he is.
