Distinguishing the indelible line between creativity and a higher power is an undertaking with deep implications. Whether it is defined as coming from God, the universe, or some collective font of eternal knowledge, most creative individuals acknowledge that at times their inspiration seems to emanate from a mysterious metaphysical source. Songs affect people's lives on a profound level, and songwriters are especially attuned to these principles. Author Dan Kimpel – who has interviewed virtually every major songwriter in the history of American popular music – has observed that many successful songwriters are often able to tap their spirituality for inspiration. This book explains these processes as it tells their stories. With the rise of the self-help movement, and spiritually aligned media-driven philosophies, aspirants are increasingly open to aligning their art and craft to the wellspring of their inspiration.
