Here at the Blown Wide Open Podcast, our goal is to explore music in all of its complexities, and one of the most in-depth ways to examine art is to create it. In this episode, Adrian and Ian break down the concept of songwriting, sharing with you, dear listener, their own embryonic ideas of juvenile youth-gone-wild musings, continuing with their more modern, well traveled and well schooled techniques of songcraft, and finishing with a discussing examples of the best songwriting that has ever been put forth by humankind(and their choices may surprise you). Our hosts also choose their favorite creations from their own catalog to share with you, both in recorded form as well as played live in the studio, to show you how far they’ve come as songwriters, all the while attempting not to pat themselves on the back so much that they break their arms.
