"Lyrics married to melodies" -Johanna Hall
What is your Process?
There is no one way to write a song. The underlying theme that carries through my music is commitment to honesty. I am an intuitive writer. Instead of focusing on the theory I leave the writing to my mind, ear and heart to find the melody and lyric that is most honest to the idea or feeling I want to express. I find the re-write is vital to a successful song. I frequently scour the thesaurus for words that will express my idea in a new way. The questions I most frequently ask myself are. "How can I say this in a new way?" "How can this melody shift to better support the lyric?"
