The Songwriter’s Porch: A Journal for Song Seeds, Images, Chords, & Half-Finished Truths
Every song starts somewhere. A phrase you cannot shake. A picture in your mind. A chord that keeps circling back. A feeling you have not quite found words for yet
The Songwriter’s Porch gives those beginnings a place to sit awhile. Designed for songwriters, lyricists, and anyone who collects scraps of songs, this journal pairs creative prompts with room to develop lyrics, chords, imagery, and arrangement ideas.
