Two songwriters I almost regretted signing

This morning I sat with a coffee in hand, gazing out the window of my local cafe…

Reflecting on a songwriting duo I’d signed years ago.

One was a topliner, the other a producer.

They had enough cuts and decent songs in their bag to warrant a publishing deal.

But from the day I signed them, every song they sent me was weaker than a vegan’s left pinky.

Rushed, stale production…

Clichéd lyrics…

Melodies with nothing to latch onto.

On top of that, they were so desperate to prove themselves as a good signing…

They’d hound me after sending in a song, trying to sell me on it.

There are many ways these two brothers went wrong.

Some obvious. Some not – I’ll keep these as content for future emails.

But their biggest problem was…

Not having a proven method they could turn to when their ideas weren’t flying or when their headspace was a wreck.

Instead… their MO was to just write hard and fast.

Unfortunately, that’s not a method.

While it’s a common songwriting approach – it doesn’t have much to offer you after your first draft.

The successful songwriters I’ve worked with all have a reliable and repeatable method they can fall back on to make sure no day or session is wasted.

A way of writing that makes sure no song or session goes to waste.

The Mona Lisa Lyric Method is for exactly that moment – when the page is blank and the well is dry

It walks you from nothing to a lyric so complete, the melody practically sings itself.

And it works.

Because it’s built around the mindsets and practices of the successful songwriters I’ve worked with.

I only wish I’d put it together sooner so I could have helped those guys out back then.

But you can get the Mona Lisa Lyric Method today.

Until next time…

Lean on me, when you’re not strong.
