I talk with grammy and Emmy-award winning songwriter Drew Ramsey about the challenges and rewards of co-writing songs, which occasionally become hit songs. In this, Drew has decades of experience — his countless collaborations include India.Arie, John Legend, Jonny Lang, and Marc Broussard — and in his capacity as a songwriting professor at Belmont University in Nashville he’s championed and incubated the next generation of songwriting hopefuls. We talk about Lightbulbs vs Batteries and the importance of discovering which one you are. We talk about the importance of bringing your weird to the songwriting room, and how it much easier to hone a wild idea into a communicable form than to punch up something that isn’t there, and finally we play one together in the studio, his song "Home", the hit he wrote with Marc Broussard.
