How I Wrote This Song - Bec Taylor - Friend of Mine

Published: Jan. 17, 2020, 1 p.m.

 Another installment of a segment I have called How I Wrote This Song. 

As part of answering the questions of How Musicians Work, I'm asking How Do Musicians Write Songs? I take musicians through their song writing process while they have their instrument in their hand. We often treat art as a mysterious talent that only few possess, but with this segment, I'm hoping to learn how it really works.

Bec Taylor came round to play her song Friend of Mine and talk through her songwriting process. Bec plays drums, keys, guitar and mandolin and you will know her from bands like Fun Machine, Glitoris and Hashemoto.

We talked about Bec's songwriting routine, how the song writing process starts with inspiration and finishes with hard work and how driving can help her think.
