Sure, great songs come from heartbreak.
They come from crisis and hard times.
They come from desperation and loneliness and longing and celebration.
But those things aren’t the songs.
Great songs come from sitting down and writing them. The writing. That’s the real key.
Don’t give the heartbreak and difficulty so much credit. Because you can certainly have the hard times and not have a great song as a result.
It’s not the crisis that brings you your best stuff.
You simply need to show up and write, crisis or not.
