From the course: One Minute Motivational Tips for Songwriters
Be generous
- [Instructor] Instead of describing music as good or bad, I really prefer the terms generous and selfish. This is something that the music producer Don Was said once and it really stuck with me. Generous music is music that is written to be enjoyed by everyone. And selfish music is written basically saying, hey look at me and how great I am at my music, at my writing. So I like the idea of writing songs generously. You're writing songs not only to move yourself but to connect with people in a generous way. So when you're writing your songs remind yourself to be generous.
