313: Curiosity And Craft, with Benny Romalis (How To Write Songs)

How does Elton John write such incredible chord progressions? What is it that made Lennon and McCartney songs so distinctive, so that they became the songwriting legends they're now known for being? And what does Sting and Radiohead do differently in their songwriting that you can learn from? These are just a few of the fascinating topics covered by Benny Romalis and Keppy Coutts on the popular YouTube channel "How To Write Songs".  And today I'm joined by Benny for a mini interview that I think you're gonna love, exploring his views on musicality, where his songwriting expertise came from, and how curiosity and "thinking like a mechanic" can open up songwriting for you too.   Subscribe For Future Episodes!
