Episode 76 - Writing from a Title with Madison Young

Writing from a title is a fabulous songwriting technique. Having a title in mind when beginning the songwriting process opens many doors for the song to evolve into something unique, complex, and full of meaning. I’m delighted to welcome back Write on Track superstar, Madison Young, for a fun episode all about writing from a title. Madison and I begin by sharing why we love this technique and list various places titles can be found. Then, we demonstrate this technique live. Madison reads a poem, and we toss out song title ideas that stood out to us. After deciding on one to explore further, we break down the title using the recolorization tool, storyboard the song, and more. This episode is full of tips and tricks for writing from a title and a fantastic example of how this technique is used by songwriters every day. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it inspires you to try this technique out when you write your next song. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode?
