Some songs sound great… until you stop and ask, “What was that actually about?” That’s what I call a “nothing song.”

In this episode, we dive into what makes a song a “nothing song,” why they’re everywhere, and why Christian songwriters especially need to take this seriously. Whether it’s vague lyrics, recycled clichés, or lines that rhyme but say nothing—songs like these are all over the place.

We’ll talk about:
- What a “nothing song” actually is
- Three types of nothing songs (some may surprise you)
- The biblical importance of every word we write
- Why message-first songwriting matters
- How I explained songwriting to my daughter

This one’s for Christian songwriters who care about depth, truth, and writing music that actually means something.
