[00:01] a different kind of point of view where there is no you. There is I, me, my mind. It's the songwriter, narrator speaking or singing about their experience, their emotion, their ideas. Often that's what we do when we sit down
[00:14] to write a song. We're trying to work through an idea or an emotion. And there's not necessarily a specific you to whom we are speaking. Graphically, the way that we can see that visually is simply that the singer narrator is
[00:27] singing a song and it's reaching towards the listener. The listener is the intended audience without there being a specific you. There's no other individual on the stage of this song in the theater of this song world. There's
[00:42] not another character. There's just the singer on stage solo singing about their experience. But being really clear about that is helpful because songs that start end of the song can suddenly feel like, well, why didn't we have the U earlier
[00:58] in the song? And that's really what we're getting at here. Being clear about to whom we are singing this song is really important. This idea of talking to yourself or processing a theme or a concept and letting the idea go out
[01:13] there with the listener as the intended target but without talking to the listener is also very common for songwriters.
