I wonder how people find songwriting partners. I wonder, because I want one. I want a clever and talented person who knows his way around a guitar or piano. Yes, ‘his’ way. I love the male perspective; especially those with a sensitive or interesting take on situations where women would have a totally different point of view. I love being surprised by the lyrics men can come up with.
I want to find someone I am comfortable enough to test lyrics and notes on. To not be embarrassed if he looks at me like I’m nuts, and who will suggest something new or add a chord and change the song completely. I can’t do these things on my own.
This idea comes out of listening to a new, great song on repeat all day - All We'd Ever Need - by Lady Antebellum. This is the first song they wrote as a group. I'm not naive enough to think that kind of chemistry is easy to come by, but I have to think that a little help would only mean better songs, better words, more emotion...
So I’m putting the call out there now. Looking for a songwriting partner. Must be pro-country and non-creepy.
