Publisher's Synopsis
Often, the greatest words that a songwriter has in his heart are never heard, simply because he or she never writes a song about songwriting. In a series of short essays, layman musician Jordan Burch writes some of his deepest thoughts as he reflects on music and the art & craft of the songwriting experience. "The Convictions of a Songwriter" is not a discourse that comes from the point of view of someone who makes a living by writing music, nor does it stem from a professional opinion on songwriting itself. Instead, it is from the perspective of one who simply enjoys writing songs and playing music. This book takes a close look at, not so much the science of music and music theory, but the beauty to be found in making mistakes and writing songs about those mistakes.
