Loz drove up from Bristol to meet and work with Beanz in his Hertfordshire-based home studio in the hopes of creating something amazing. This isn&#8217;t about one person and their songwriting gift, it&#8217;s about a collective of musicians and\/or singers working together to create something magical. <\/p>\n<p>My Thoughts: Songwriting<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re waiting for inspiration, you may never write a song. Songwriting can be stressful and hard work ~ you need to put in the work if you&#8217;re going to write great songs. Change of pace + change of place = change of perspective. Stepping outside of your comfort zone to partner with an innovative and talented musician is a way to stretch your creative muscle. It takes you away from the predictable norm and places you in a mindset for inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>I believe the best songs are written in collaboration. Every writer has a their own strengths, whether it&#8217;s melody, harmony, lyrics, or arrangement. It can be difficult to agree on ideas but that very tension results in stronger songs. Collaboration also fosters a team mentality in your songwriting. This isn&#8217;t about one person and their songwriting gift, it&#8217;s about a collective of musicians and\/or singers working together to create something magical.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to watch the process of songwriting from beginning to end&#8230;enjoy the journey!<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YFXQd_8ekB0\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rudden+Bridge | Songwriters Collaborating on their very first song, &#8216;Calling [March, 2012] Producer\/Songwriter, Stephen &#8216;Beanz&#8217; Rudden and Singer\/Songwriter, Loz Bridge found each other on LinkedIn [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10727,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86,50,51,42,34,33,36],"tags":[249,642,1260,250,686,12,240,372,373,327,103,113,111,104,112,117,2358,390,114,116,115],"class_list":["post-10726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-creating-a-hit-song","category-how-to-write-soul-music","category-how-to-write-soul-music-songs","category-most-popular-soul-songwriters","category-motown-songwriters","category-r-and-b-songwriters","category-self-publish-songwriter","tag-acoustic","tag-composition","tag-folk","tag-guitar","tag-idea","tag-music","tag-musician","tag-original","tag-original-song","tag-singer","tag-songwriter","tag-songwriters-festival","tag-songwriting","tag-songwriting-contest","tag-songwriting-tips","tag-successful-songwriters","tag-unsigned","tag-writing","tag-writing-lyrics","tag-writing-lyrics-to-a-song","tag-writing-lyrics-to-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildsongwriter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
