#262: Songwriting with Keppie Coutts

<p class="">Keppie Coutts has one of my favorite YouTube channels, "How to Write Songs." Keppie studied and taught at Berklee College of Music. Her latest work is on a new audiobook/album <em>Mothertongues</em>. Keppie was commissioned to write songs and music around the theme of motherhood for the audiobook.</p> <p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1650991002258_703" class="">Keppie and I spoke about her songwriting process and the challenges songwriters face. We explored what it means to turn nothing into something, as well as some of the common misconceptions around the craft of songwriting that hold people back.</p> <p class=""><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/music-production-podcast/id1212124420"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">iTunes</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/music-production-podcast?refid=stpr"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Stitcher</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ip424c7a3w32gzox6c2bnwexy3q"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Google Play</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/2R5hFhExyUzbI7jD7eauck"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">; watch on</span> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk4jo7_Rx2-2mjUoTXTL4u0iUH5_XqBYi"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube</span></a> <strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <ul data-rte-list="default"> <li> <p class="">Keppie's Music Site - <a tabindex="0" href= "https://www.keppiecouttsmusic.com/">https://www.keppiecouttsmusic.com</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="">How to Write Songs (YouTube) - <a tabindex="0" href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHX6_NG_L7OitIAgcS56zpw/videos">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHX6_NG_L7OitIAgcS56zpw/videos</a></p> </li> <li>Mothertongues - <a href= "https://www.keppiecouttsmusic.com/music">https://www.keppiecouttsmusic.com/music</a></li>
