Our top five favourite reasons to love songwriting!

1) "You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul"  Annie Lennox

2) "I think songwriting was the biggest way that I found my identity" Camila Cabello

3) "You wind up creating from silence, like painting a picture on a blank canvas that could bring tears to somebody's eyes. As songwriters, our blank canvas is silence. Then we write a song from an idea that can change somebody's life. Songwriting is the closest thing to magic that we could ever experience. That's why I love songwriting". Rodney Atkins

4) "Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about" Dolly Parton

5) That's what I love about songwriting - that you can write something about your own experiences and think it's completely specific to you, and then people can take away a completely different meaning for themselves. I really love that. I think you've been successful at writing a song when it has a larger life than yourself. Idina Menzel
