Richard- Can (good) song writing be learnt? My feelings are you either can or you cant. I've even seen books trying to teach it. I may be wrong but it seems there's as many ways of writing a song as there are ways of playing numbers on the lottery.
I think it comes from a certain mindset.You could call it talent. I'm not sure you can force ideas to come out. I notice that the 70 s influence is apparent in recent releases....any thoughts??

Hello Richard after my best friend send me "For Your Lover.." I decided to come to your show in Amsterdam last year. Though you didn't play my favorite there I really enjoyed myself and decided to write a song that was inspired by yours. I'd like to send it to you because I think it's really nice but I'm not the one to sing it, being Dutch and having that beautiful accent ;-) How do I get it to you if you would want to hear it?

I'd upload it to Soundcloud and post a link on here.

Helemaal prachtig, Bokke! :D

To be on-topic: I can hear much talent and even more craft. :thumright: ..>

It's a good song I have sent it my manager I write my own songs but I wish you well, good luck

Thanks Richard. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for sending it to your manager. For Your Lover Give Some Time is one of the prettiest songs I know together with Get In Line by Ron Sexsmith. But that you've listened to one of mine means a lot to me. All the best, Bokke.
