Country Legend Reveals Secrets Of Songwriting

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Wireless Flash) – The key to writing good country songs may simply be a matter of facing the music. Country songwriting legend Hank Cochran – who wrote “I Fall To Pieces” for Patsy Cline figures one reason he’s been able to write hits for more than 40 years is because he goes where the song takes him. Even if it means ending a romantic date early. For instance, Cochran once made his date leave a movie early when one of the film’s characters said, “Make the world go away.” Cochran was so inspired by the phrase he immediately went home so he could write a song. He didn’t get a second date but he doesn’t mind since “Make The World Go Away” was a hit for Elvis Presley. Cochran’s latest CD is Living For A Song: A Songwriter’s Biography.
