UK Songwriting Festival | Annual summer songwriting courses in Bath, UK » edwin_songsville http://www.uksongwritingfestival.com Songwriting festival for songwriters of all genres held every summer in Bath, UK Sat, 04 Sep 2010 13:17:14 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Artist or Songwriter? http://www.uksongwritingfestival.com/2009/03/29/artist-or-songwriter/ http://www.uksongwritingfestival.com/2009/03/29/artist-or-songwriter/#comments Sun, 29 Mar 2009 14:32:41 +0000 edwin_songsville http://www.uksongwritingfestival.com/?p=575 I was wondering how many of you regard yourselves as performing artists who write and how many are ‘pure’ songwriters who perform occasionally if at all?

I think many of us here are a mix — it’s interesting to me because I sometimes find myself trying to write generic lyrics that can have universal appeal and singability but I worry that they are a bit bland.

Then I might write a more personal song that only I would perform and is probably borderline unintelligible.

How do you find the right balance?
