I thought this was a stand-up comedian at first and was just thinking, “Damn, this guy is not landing.”

[williamk]

What he is saying is, use the craft to elevate your creativity. But do not let the “rules/theory” confine you.

[Whatever-ewti]

I watched the whole talk and I thought it was quite good, he had more to say about the idea of info vs inspiration, which was quite appropriate and relatable for Berklee students who were absorbing tons of knowledge from school. This comment section is hating for no reason tho

[VocalEdgeTV]

I forgot that he was actually highly intelligent and a great teacher.

[Demitrival]

Linking songwriting knowledge to emotion.

This is the best explanation on why you need to know music theory.

[RicardoNevesMusic]

I think that in the process of getting "better", we forgot the "why" or our reason/motive for wanting to start writing songs in the first place. We traded "heart" and "self-expression" for craft and fell into the trap of the mundane world.

We became so obsessed with craft and with getting results, that we slowly lost our bond/connection to the "heart" and "self-expression" without even realising it.

And I think this is sad, because I bet most of us started writing songs in the first place, because we just wanted to express ourselves.

Yeah, I guess that's it.

That's the reason most of us wanted to start writing songs in the first place.

Yeah, I hope this helps someone out there.

Make sure to remember the reason that made you want to start writing songs in the first place.

Realizing there’s more to melody then just singing the changes was a big eye opener for me tbh

[aconfusedshoe]

That's what Jacob Collier does, he creates music from a very logical and mathematic standpoint. Amazing musician but imo he lacks a lot of natural feel and emotion in his songwriting.

[LuciensMusic]

It takes a head and heart to write great songs, , I feel like Im more heart, , so maybe a cowriter with theory etc is what I need to help me elevate my writing

[kellystorm]

[flibflob]

I wish John Meyer was not so sucessful as a musician, so that he would have to write songwriting books for money

[MVG]

jacob collier fans boiling with rage after seeing this

[mikecantreed]

Where’s the statistical analysis that led to the 90% figure?

[jorgefiguerola]

Metaphorical huh what? Can't name one JM song.
Annoyed in Dallas. JF

[jordanpoole]

[Jamisonurquhartshirley]

[AchintyaSingh]

what he is saying is dont sing the chord progressions. the melody comes first then the chord progression. dont let the progression move the melody.
