When crafting songs, it's not enough to simply deliver a positive message. As music professionals, we know that for a song to resonate with listeners and create a lasting impact, it must do more than offer blunt advice. Songs are powerful because they tell stories that touch the heart, bypassing the critical mind. A strong, prescriptive message works best when woven into a meaningful narrative. This bridge-like structure helps guide the audience from a place of facing problems to reaching a better emotional or psychological state. Without a story, even the most well-intentioned advice can fall flat. For record companies and industry leaders, fostering artists who can craft songs that not only entertain but also inspire change is essential. Music has the potential to shift worldviews, and by supporting songwriters who understand this process, we elevate the entire industry. #MusicIndustry #SongwritingProfessionals #SongCraft #StorytellingInMusic #MusicWithImpact #ArtistDevelopment #RecordLabels #MusicProduction #LyricWriting #StorytellingInLyrics #BuildingArtists #CreatingConnection #ChangingWorldviewsThroughMusic

In songwriting, coherence is key to creating impactful music. Drawing inspiration from Donald Miller, human beings are constantly looking for the things that help them meet their needs. We can approach a song’s structure like measuring fuel in a tank—it’s somewhere between full or empty, symbolizing a need that is either closer to being fulfilled or further away from it - illustrating the gap between a person’s current struggle and their desired outcome. This concept is vital in lyrical composition: a listener must be guided from an initial state of struggle to a satisfying resolution. As songwriters, ensuring the beginning and the end of the song are meaningfully connected is essential to producing work that resonates. Coherence in lyrics not only elevates the storytelling aspect but also provides a clear path for emotional progression. For record labels and music professionals, fostering such intentionality in songwriting can lead to more compelling music that leaves a lasting impression. #SongwritingStrategy #MusicCoherence #LyricalStructure #StorytellingInMusic #MusicBusiness #CreativeProcess

Difference Between Master Rights and Publishing Rights in a Musical Work. Have you ever wondered the difference between a Master right and a Publishing right? What is even a Master right? What is Publishing right? The master in a song refer to the original sound recording. The concept of a master right is derived from the term “master tape”. A master tape contains the original recording of the song. Often, a song is recorded in a single most authentic tape and is thereafter replicated or reproduced for distribution. When you stream a song on streaming platforms, i.e. #Spotify, do you think you listen to the original recording OR the replicated version OR the reproduced version of the replicated version? A master right is the copyright to the original recording of a song. This right confers full control of the music to reproduce, license and receive royalties. Who do you think should have ownership of the master rights? The artiste or the record label? On the other hand, a publishing right refers to the music composition. That is the lyrics, rhythm, melodies and instrumentation. Therefore, the publishing rights confer the ownership of the music composition. This is usually the songwriter and composer of the song. The difference between the master right and the publishing right is, that the master right is the copyright to the composed song itself while the publishing right is the copyright to the musical composition. Are there other components of a #copyright in a song? Aside from #Taylor #Swift, what other #artiste do you know that has been in a master rights disagreement? #copyright #music #publishing #masterright #publishingright #recordlabels .................................................................

A beautiful insight into the inner workings of the music industry.

Are you a composer or songwriter? Consider this quote, attributed to Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States: "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful [men] of talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." This creative insight and many more are part of my book, "A Practical Guide to Becoming a Composer: A wealth of advice, tips, strategies, and examples." I wrote this helpful resource mainly for those nearer the beginning of their journeys as composers and songwriters and those with little or no formal training in music composition.

In songwriting, moving people emotionally requires taking them on a journey. Lyrics can’t dwell solely on the problem, as that would leave the listener feeling stuck. To create impact, the song must carry them to a new place—a place where the problem is resolved, the challenge overcome, and the opportunity realized. This journey from conflict to resolution is what makes a song resonate deeply with audiences. Whether it's about personal growth, success, or overcoming obstacles, the movement in the lyrics reflects the human desire for progress and resolution. In essence, the outcome is the destination—a better place that listeners are drawn toward. As music professionals, it's important to guide songwriters in creating these powerful journeys. A well-crafted song doesn’t just state the problem, but also leads the audience toward the ideal outcome or even beyond. 🎶 #MusicIndustry #Songwriting #AudienceEngagement #EmotionalStorytelling #LyricDevelopment #CreativeProcess #MusicMarketing #StorytellingInMusic

In songwriting, it’s not enough to simply describe the "better place" at the end of the journey. To truly engage listeners, you must meet them where they are. This starts with your first line—it’s your most powerful tool for grabbing attention by addressing the problem your main character is facing. The character’s goal must be directly connected to this problem. Whether it’s crossing a metaphorical canyon or overcoming a personal challenge, the journey from a bad place to a better one is what gives the song its emotional impact. When written effectively, songs like this don’t just tell a story—they empower the listener by showing how the character reaches their goal. For music professionals, guiding songwriters to focus on this progression—problem to goal—helps create songs that resonate and inspire their audience. 🎶 #MusicIndustry #Songwriting #LyricDevelopment #EmotionalStorytelling #EmpoweringMusic #CharacterGrowth #CreativeProcess #StorytellingInMusic #MusicProduction
