Songwriting that connects – What lyrics can copywriters learn from?
December 2nd, 2008
Perhaps it’s the second coffee talking. Or maybe I’ve just been thinking about SEO for too long (*yawn*). Whatever the case, this morning, it’s time for something a little lighter.
Bring on the songwriting discussion!
A while back, I discussed how effectively the lyrics of Cold Chisel’s ‘Bow River’ captivate the band’s target audience. And how we copywriters could learn a thing or two from Ian Moss. Today, I’d like your opinions.
What songs boast lyrics that really resonate? And why? Comment away, and feel free to wax lyrical. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!)

Thanks for a fun assignment, Glenn.
I pick Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant” and followed your lead with a full post about it.

Thanks Carson. I haven’t heard that one. Will definitely get over and have a listen to it. I had a quick look at your post and there appears to be a clip of it there?
