Episode 015
Do you want to write a love song that is not about a happily ever after?
Are you fed up with fairytale love songs that always have a happy ending, but don't know how to go about showing how to dig a hole for your song's main character and letting them suffer?
After all, love is not all about butterflies.
Sometimes love hurts.
This new podcast episode will help you ...
Because it helps you figure out how you can tell a love story moment without its happy ending ...
But still, leave your audience with a glimpse of hope.
AND it will show you how your song's main character may get stuck in life, ...
And how you can get him out of that hole again without letting him get what his heart desires.
If that sounds like something you want to try out in your own songwriting, then tune in.
