The Songwriters

"It's all in a song, that one single note, the notes that touch our souls". - Shellie Palmer


Paper is our canvas to where the pen is our instrument, each and every one of us connect through a song, there are many songs, some are released as singles, those singles become hits, what you should know is how powerful lyrics are to a song. Behind the scene's music is happening, being created and crafted into a masterpiece, I call it pure magic. Feeling connected to an artist and their music is just a small fragment in the music world. It's the writers who bring authenticity and reality together, what they live through, what inspires them or simply having that feel good emotion. Those writers work hands on with an artist or artists, collaborations are born. I always look to what the story is behind a song,it's that one feature I get super excited about reading in Country Weekly Magazine.
Some of our most prolific songs are the most inspirational and relatable to us.
Rascal Flatts "I'm Moving On", "God Bless The Broken Road", "These Days", "What Hurts The Most", "I Won't Let Go" have been the most meaningful songs the Flatts and their
co-writers have created together. We truly connect on these songs,writer  Jason Sellers of "I Won't Let Go" was in the moment writing the song. I remember Jason telling readers in an issue of Country Weekly, the song is about being there for someone who's going through tough times, having that friend,spouse,parent, sibling, anyone who you will stand beside not letting go of them in their darkest time. I connected to the song emotionally having a friend who needed me during some tough times and him for me, It was that relateable. Songs make such an impact on a person's life,it's quite theraputic, emotionally and physcially freeing.  I always tell someone if you can't find the words right then and there and weighing on your heart write it out,it really is the best therapy and it's free of charge.  Leslie Satcher had Kellie Pickler right at mind when "Tough" came about.
"I ain't never been nothing but tough/All my edges have always been rough/ But Jesus loves me anyway". Yes, Kellie Pickler had a rough upbringing,matter of fact she love's Jesus and is rough around the edges,sometimes we have to be.
Recognizing the writers in the music industry have left me open minded and completely open hearted to continue the path in writing after all,writing is real art. It's a blessing to able to connect with you, country fans. Your all so incredible!
