I sometimes write songs on my acoustic guitar (pictured), in a folk-pop style, and I’ve got really out of the habit. But today I had done nice chord changes going on, and a good melody, and the words were coming together, and I was feeling pretty good at how it was going, until I realised…
It was a Bob Dylan song I had written by mistake. The words were mine, but most of the chord changes and melody were from ‘Make you feel my love’. It’s a good song, but it doesn’t need writing twice.
So back to the drawing board…
