Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond

NOTE

Noah tried to break the monotony of song writing with his album

The speaker describes how the traditional method of songwriting, which involves searching for a concept and following a formula, became monotonous and mind-numbing for him. To break free from this monotony, he decided to return to writing the way he enjoyed, without sticking to a specific concept, focusing on his feelings, creating stories, and being more creative. He embraced a more flexible approach, allowing himself to step away from writing when needed and coming back later when inspiration struck. By following his own pace and writing about what truly made him happy in the moment, he found a renewed sense of joy and inspiration in his music.
