Song writing

Following the quote I just posted, I though I would accompany it by a bit of info on why I liked this quote so much.

First of all, this past year I’ve started to listen to James Taylor quite a lot after hearing him coming out of Molly’s laptop speakers from time to time and liking what I heard.

Secondly, I’ve just graduated, to become a Bachelor of Arts in Commercial Music from Bath Spa University and one of my modules was song writing.

While I can say that I have definitely become a better song writer I also feel that the course, especially the final year was definitely not worth the money. The course leader being so opinionated and extremely unhelpful, changing the submission times and dates without communicating the changes with students until the last few weeks. Over all the professionalism from him over the year was virtually non-existent. What makes it even worse was that 10% of my grade was on professional conduct, which make his actions even more laughable. No more details on that as I don’t want to sound like a ranting student too much, but like I said, I do feel that I am writing the best stuff I’ve written…EVER.

Hopefully I’ll get some more inspiration before I go travelling as I’m trying to get some material together and finished before I go travelling and then when I come back I can record those songs and the new stuff that I hopefully write on my travels and make a proper go at it in London.

Finally if anyone has any thoughts on Song writing or ways they get inspiration let me know?
