Write the song you're afraid to write

“

- [Narrator] I've addressed the idea of fear a little bit already, but I heard it once said that there are two kinds of songs. The song you want to write, and the song you're afraid to write. And you should write the one that you are afraid to write. What this really means is, if you're afraid of writing a particular song or about a particular idea, it means it's touching something really deep inside of you that needs to get out. So, when in doubt, write the song that you are afraid to write. It doesn't mean you need to show it to the entire world, but it does mean that that song needs to be written for you as a songwriter.
