taking a songwriting / guitar course with them rn and laura marling is the instructor, and she’s lovely at it.
i’ve had several friends take courses from other well known musicians through SOS, too, and it’s just a wonderful / welcoming / inspirational community.

hi there! funnily enough I also go to school for songwriting (kinda, I'm a music production major but I'm in songwriting class with all of the songwriting majors and have been writing for a long time as well). if there was one text I'd recommend for working on your songwriting and lyric building process it'd be the exercises in the book "How to Write One Song" by Jeff Tweedy. he basically just shows you how to jumble up your current way of thinking about writing and finding new ways to put words together that you never thought you could do.
P.S. your line about wanting to creating lyrics that move people is very relatable and I understand that want very much and know you probably already are moving people and that as much as we want to be able to write like our heroes as soon as possible, our own just as powerful sound will come eventually with slow and hard work. I'm sure you know this but I thought I would say.
feel free to message me if you'd like to talk songwriting more—happy writing!

I’ve been struggling this year to figure what was next for me and what was missing in my life. I revisited songwriting and music and to get myself started I signed up for singing classes. It’s a group class so hopefully I can make a friend 😊

I have always written lyrics in my notes app. I have never really taken them seriously though. With that said, I have just written a song with my guitar and built it by singing it out loud. I haven’t felt this creatively fulfilled in a while. It’s not a full song yet but it’s a solid chunk. It’ll probably never be heard by anyone but me but I feel so free right now.
Even if you think you’re bad at singing or bad at guitar, if you want to write a song, go and do it.
