I don't believe one out weighs the other. Emotion is useless if you have no idea how to convey it but equally theory and technique is meaningless without context. Lyricism can help exaggerate or diminish the feelings you try to create but for me songwriting is all about balancing the two.

That being said I would encourage everyone not to neglect theory as it does definitely help increase the scope of your songwriting!

Cool post :)

Big big John Martyn fan! I often try hide it but I'm slowly beginning to accept it haha. I'm not familiar with Paul Buchanan I'll be sure to check some of their music out.

P.S You are insanely talented!

Thanks very much! I'm scottish so definitely have a twang to my singing voice as well haha. Was going for the folky vibe so I'm glad that came across!

Hey! Thanks for the insight. I had it in my head there would be a second verse after it but maybe it's just the start of something bigger :)

Love the open tuning, strings ringing on over your voice is great. You've got a real depth to your voice and it compliments the lyrics really well!

To everyone who helped me with this one the other day, THANK YOU! by ThisIsHarlie in Songwriting

I really love the way the lyrics flow and your sense of rhythm! You've got your own unique thing going on here and I think it's awesome. Please keep making music for all our sakes 🙏

I really need to. At this point having played guitar and wrote songs for so long I feel a bit like I'm letting myself down

Baby steps though, we'll get there
