“you will hear something that you want to keep. Or hear something that reminds you of something else. Songwriters are just people who have claimed those things—who give themselves credit. Who say they invented rock and roll. And you can do it, too. You just invented a song. You just invented music.”
Jeff Tweedy, How to Write One Song

“I think it’s the coolest thing in the world when someone steps outside their so-called station in life to indulge in a personal “art for the sake of art” moment.”
Jeff Tweedy, How to Write One Song

Thea Astley
“He was hurling words at his shrinking wife like clods or bricks and she was not dodging but receiving them like a willing saint, enduring abuse like a terrible balm.”
Thea Astley, Drylands

“It’s just a matter of telling yourself that your creation is OK, no matter what it is.”
Jeff Tweedy, How to Write One Song

“I find it’s almost impossible to put two words together and not find at least some meaning. We’re conditioned to look for patterns and identify mysteries to solve much more than we are designed to dictate what we’re searching for. I recommend allowing that natural curiosity and our sense-making brains to do their thing.”
Jeff Tweedy, How to Write One Song
