23-01-2023 • 55 mins

In this episode, Emily and Jamie review a couple of great listener songs.

Topics covered in this episode include:
- The importance of intros as part of the progressive development of the song's arrangement
- Melodic contrasting
- Transitioning from one section of the song to the next one
- Prosody (yup, it's so important that we bring it up every couple of episodes)
- The production must serve the song
- The Five Dimensions of Singing (Lyric, Melody, Rhythm, Tone, Intention)
- Arrangement can change how the intended emotions come through
- The Underlick
- Strive to make every section of the song catchy
- Creating a safe, comfortable environment for creative work to take place in
- How your posture affects how you feel, and the vibe you're giving off
- The two types of empathy and how they relate to songwriting
- The studio experience is usually more impactful than the result of the session itself

Anderson Powers - Jack Black
Dylan Martinson - Wouldn’t Be Enough
Stu Neil - Your Memory Makes Me Cry
