About this listen

Whether you're just starting out as a songwriter, you're an experienced songwriter or just looking for a new perspective on the beautiful craft of songwriting, Song Maps - A New System to Write Your Best Lyrics offers fresh insights to help you write your very best lyrics.

Does any of the following sound familiar?

  • You worry that the lyrics you write just don't deliver their full potential but can't figure out why, even though technically they tick all the right boxes.
  • You have great ideas but your finished lyrics somehow fall short of the emotional impact you wanted and, as a result, your songs get passed over.
  • You have a busy schedule with limited time to write and have wasted too many hours chasing un-writable lyric ideas.
  • You wonder how some professional songwriters always seem to get a particular dynamic in their lyrics, consistently writing songs better than 90% of what you hear on the radio.
  • You are perhaps nervous about going into a pro co-writing session because you fear your ideas aren't worth bringing into the writing room.
  • You know you have so many great titles waiting to be written but haven't found a way of systematically developing them into well-crafted lyrics.
  • After writing an amazing hooky Chorus and a great supporting first Verse, you hit the dreaded wall that is "second verse curse".

In Song Maps - A New System to Write Your Best Lyrics, I deliver simple, logical, well-defined solutions to these issues and more: I give you seven well-developed professional templates for you to bring your lyrics to life. I also provide you with a tried and tested process for writing lyrics using Song Maps. And I'll reveal the songwriter's secret weapon.
