Whether it&rsquo;s vague lyrics, recycled clich&eacute;s, or lines that rhyme but say nothing&mdash;songs like these are all over the place.</p> <p>We&rsquo;ll talk about:<br />- What a &ldquo;nothing song&rdquo; actually is<br />- Three types of nothing songs (some may surprise you)<br />- The biblical importance of every word we write<br />- Why message-first songwriting matters<br />- How I explained songwriting to my daughter</p> <p>This one&rsquo;s for Christian songwriters who care about depth, truth, and writing music that actually means something.</p>
