Rewriting

In this lecture, you will be made aware of the difference between the free-flowing, stream of consciousness first draft of a song, and the more analytical "tweaking" that's required for rewriting. Steve spends most of this class playing the original versions of his own songs and then comparing those to their final “re-written” versions. In doing so, he highlights the changes he ended up making in his own rewriting process, so that you can see what a professional songwriter does with a song before calling it "finished." Start to see what could be better about your own songs, and knowing when they're actually done.
