MV Songwriters


By Tim Swanson

I have been writing music for more than 10 years now. Its always been a great way for me to work out the matters of my heart. As I've begun writing again this last year (after a 3 year stretch of writers block) I have found great inspiration in writing again. Whats even cooler is the other songwriting talent that I've seen within Moon Valley's community. There are men and women within our church that are really good at writing music.

So last Saturday, for the first time, 4 of us got together and began work together on building our ability as songwriters. We discussion a selection from a book on songwriting. We talked about our unique writing processes. And we even played our songs for each other. It was a really great time of building each other up and working on our craft. At the end of the meeting I gave all of the guys a challenge to write a song based on this theme: "This Is My Story". When we get together again we'll play the songs for each other and continue to work toward becoming the best songwriters that we can be. I'm excited for what this will mean for each member of the team, and what it will mean for music a MVBC.
