Top Comments of this video!! :3
Bob Dylan was on a movie set and the director said I need a song to close the film ( Pat Garrett and Billy the kid ) where the main character dies. Dylan went in his trailer with an acoustic guitar and 7 or 8 minutes later came back out and said I just wrote this and proceeded to play knocking on heavens door . I seen the director tell this story many years later he wrote the song in under 10 minutes.

I always thought George was tremendously underrated as a singer/songwriter. In fact, having grown up listening to the Beatles since 1969, when I was five years old, I loved Harrison's songs on Abbey Road. What an amazing band to have 3 incredibly talented songwriters and one great drummer in Ringo who NEVER gets the credit he deserves. Love them, hate them; the Beatles will always be considered the most relevant musical act of the 20th Century.

The Ira Glass quote at 6:25 should be played to every high school student in the country! If you have children, play this for them.

I think the most important part of this video is the part by Ira Glass 6:32.

It is always best to allow the song to write itself. The goal of every song writer is to understand that the song is a sound thing and not a direct message thing. The build up of the lyrics is not specifically about transferring information but about transferring sound that is beautiful. This you can achieve regardless of whether the lyrics make sense. Though people can try to work the lyrics until it does justice both sound-wise and sense-wise. It takes a songwriter many years to master the type of sound they love. Sometimes just trusting their inner gut feeling that this tune which they've just heard is a great tune. For many years it will seem like a guessing game. Other times you are out here hoping people will like it even when you are not so confident about it. But along the journey only a few people truly come to a complete mastery of what the exact sound is that people can fall in love with. These people can pin point the hit sound. They say it is a very rare gift. And indeed it is. But it is achievable.

I needed to hear this and it came at just the right time. I just learned that the song writer for Band-Maid (a band that makes killer song after killer song) produces a new demo every week. Thatās 52 demo songs per year. Thatās how theyāre able to release a new album every 15 months or so and why the albums are so good. They leave 40 demo songs in the trash every year.
