All writers need to read more poetry. Poetry is an underrated and under respected art form that is mandatory for any songwriter.

This was the injection my song writing needed.I paid no attention to learning English at school.I will now be hard at it everyday.I just needed focus.I have already re written a verse after watching this and surfing some Wiki links to refresh my brain what a verb and noun are.Thank you :)

Not sure I agree with this because nouns are super important, analyze "Nobody Home" by Pink Floyd. This song is as good as anything and the nouns convey the emotion.

good stuff. I am just starting to study this..though I'm 'old'...but with renewed interest, and trying to shake off the impression of it being 'too dificult'. One little thing I think he could have added that may be releavant, idk...but... present tense verbs seems to generally be more compelling that past ones...right? Though of course there is need for some past tense (maybe lol)
