How Songwriter Jim Fusco Writes a Song – Part 1

By Jim Fusco:

A few years ago, I did a video documentary for my MySpace blog showing how I go through the songwriting process.

This particular video shows how I develop a chord progression, a tune, and lyrics for a song from scratch.

Of course, I don’t write many of my songs this way- this was a long and tedious process. But, it’s interesting to see how I began the writing process in Part 1, completed the writing in Part 2, and played live for the first time ever (a few days later) in Part 3.

I hope you enjoy my mini-documentary and will check out my other “How I” videos, like “How I Record A Song” and “How I Develop A Song”!

Behind the Scenes III (“This One’s For the Birds” – Covers…)

By Chris Moore:

(I vowed to myself that I wouldn’t do another one of these progressively cheesier “Behind the Scenes” segments, but this actually happened to me yesterday and I just had to share!…)

Welcome to The Laptop Sessions: Behind the Scenes III! Come one, come all – see how the Laptop Sessions may appear easy to produce, but this is just one of the many problems we face behind the scenes! 🙂

Seriously, I hope you enjoy…

P.S. As with the previous two “Behind the Scenes” segments I’ve done (well, at least with the first one…), this was completely unscripted!

Hello and welcome to another Jim Fusco video podcast! I’ve been working on my new album, “Halfway There”, and thought I would give an update on my progress while also talking about how I go about developing a song.

I think there’s some interesting tidbits in here about my creative process, which differs GREATLY from my friends’ creative process.

I’d love to hear comments about how you work out songs and your thoughts of how I’m approaching songwriting!
