Michael Gaither - Songs and Stories #5: High and Lonesome

What comes first? The music or the lyrics? That's probably the most-asked question about songwriting, and the answer is simply, "yes". (As in, "Yes, the music or the lyrics definitely come first".) Every song is different, and every one has a different starting point. Some songs - most of mine, actually - start with a title. In this podcast, I talk about how the song "High and Lonesome" came about. Read the show notes and listen to more podcasts like this one at http://www.michaelgaither.com.
