Please make a special point to listen to this episode. Friedemann Findeisen is a German songwriter and songwriting coach whose brilliant Artist Series on YouTube perfectly captures and explains the songwriting styles of bands like Twenty One Pilots, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and more. He's a great songwriter himself and coaches people from around the world on how to write their own songs. He's got a unique perspective on pop music, and in this interview, he explains A LOT of how pop music works on the music side of things and helps me (and hopefully you!) to better understand lyrics "holistically." :) Here are some links we mention in the interview: The Holistic Songwriting YouTube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLtD67ljlaeXQMV4sb-YzNA](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLtD67ljlaeXQMV4sb-YzNA) The Lyric Canvas (Songwriting Rubric) [https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video\_id=9XjSVGFDieE](https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=9XjSVGFDieE) The Blog [http://blog.holistic-song...
