The New York Times has announced the creation of a new blog entitled Measure for Measure: How to Write a Song and Other Mysteries. The new offering finds master songwriters Andrew Bird, Rosanne Cash, Suzanne Vega and Darrell Brown (Neil Young, LeAnn Rimes, Keith Urban) discussing their craft in intimate detail.
Explaining the true goal of this new leap into literature, the paper elaborates:
With music now available with a single, offhand click, it's easy to forget that songs are not born whole, polished and ready to play. They are created by artists who draw on some combination of craft, skill and inspiration. In the coming weeks, the contributors to this blog -- all accomplished songwriters -- will pull back the curtain on the creative process as they write about their work on a song in the making.
