Write unforgettable songs (just like your heroes).
Great songwriters don't start with great songs.
They start by studying them.
Think about it.
If someone wanted to learn guitar, you wouldn't tell them to sit down and invent an original masterpiece on day one.
You'd teach them Knockin' On Heaven's Door. Or something by the The Beatles. Or a great country song. They'd spend weeks learning songs someone else already wrote because that's how musicians learn.
So why do we expect songwriting to be any different?
The missing practice every songwriter skips
Most aspiring songwriters bounce between YouTube videos, random advice, and unfinished lyrics. They hear things like:
Write every day.
Be authentic.
Find your voice.
Good advice. But none of it helps you internalize how great songs are actually built.
SongFrames does.
Learn songs the way artists learn paintings
Painters spend years studying the masters. Writers study great books. Chefs recreate classic dishes. Songwriters should study great songs. Not just listen to them, but really study them.
Every week, we'll look at one remarkable songwriter and show you exactly what makes their songs work: the structures, the lyric choices, the themes, the emotional turns, the unexpected decisions.
You'll start noticing patterns that were invisible before. And once you can see those patterns, you'll start using them in your own writing.
Not by copying. By understanding.
What you'll receive
The flagship SongFrames course is a 10-week guided study of ten extraordinary songwriters. Each week you'll receive:
- - One iconic songwriter to study
- - A guided breakdown of how a few of their songs were written
- - Writing prompts inspired by the techniques used
- - A simple exercise to apply what you've learned to your own songs
You'll spend about 30–45 minutes a week. No music degree required. No expensive equipment. Just curiosity and a willingness to learn from people who've already figured a few things out.
Your voice is already in there
Most songwriters don't need more inspiration. They need better examples.
The goal isn't to sound like Leonard Cohen. Or Joni Mitchell. Or Jason Isbell. Or Taylor Swift. The goal is to understand why their songs work so well.
Once you recognize those patterns, your own voice has something solid to stand on. That's when songwriting becomes less mysterious and a lot more fun.
Welcome to SongFrames.
