Publisher's Summary
There are few artistic acts more mysterious than writing a song. But what if a shift in perspective - and some practical guidance - could overcome that mystery? Anyone wanting to experience more creativity and mindfulness will be inspired to do just that after listening to How to Write One Song.
Why one song? The difference between one song and many songs isn't a charming semantic trick - it's an important distinction that can simplify a notoriously confusing art form. The idea of becoming a capital-S Songwriter can seem daunting, but when approached as a focused, self-contained practice, the mystery and fear subsides and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit.
How to Write One Song brings listeners into this intimate process - lyrics, music and how they come together. It's equally about the importance of making creativity part of your everyday life and of experiencing the hope, inspiration and joy available to anyone who is willing to get started.

Insightful, emotive and much more than a “how to”...
Tweedy demonstrates the mindset, process and character of a songwriter. By unravelling and anticipating challenges like insecurity and creative dry spells, he paints the writing of one song as an entirely human experience. This intimate portrayal speaks to the resilience of a creative spirit and the importance being there for one another.

Insightful look into the hard work and genius of the Wilco front-man
So great to have Jeff Tweedy explain the process that he uses to write songs and provide an insight to the discipline required to become a prolific as he is.
