PRAISE FOR MUSIC, LYRICS, AND LIFE “This is a manual for better living through creativity, and vice versa: playful, rigorous, challenging, inviting, weird, practical, mind-expanding, focused, and truly kind. It’s a genuinely loving book that overflows with soul and wisdom from a wonderful teacher and artist. I’m really blown away.”—Paul Giamatti, actor "Mike Errico possesses a keen understanding of how to teach something that simply cannot be taught. This is the book we’re all in need of."—Madison Cunningham, recording artist “Mike Errico opened my eyes to what songwriting could be. His methods took any fear I had of writing and turned it to fun and joy. He is the perfect guide to finding your voice.”—Blu DeTiger, recording artist“Mike Errico is a brilliant artist who is fluent in both the language of music and the music of language. I’m an actor-director, and this book about songwriting made me want to create, to explore, and to deepen my own work.”—Carrie Preston, actor, director, producer (Elsbeth, The Good Wife, True Blood) “Others may have written Bibles on songwriting. This is the Talmud.”—Eric Bazilian, songwriter
