[@bolivar1789]

Beth is a truly wonderful teacher. And that 11 year old girl is so cute and so amazingly talented!

[@unabashed26]

So are her parents.

[@natet5959]

She's the best songwriting teacher I've seen online. I love her spirit and teaching method. I've been writing songs for thirty years and I feel like the eleven year old girl is already better than me. Of course, this was posted over eight years ago, so that little girl is probably a star by now.

[@David-ig8of]

Yeah ,I was either impressed or depressed...lol

[@David-ig8of]

I won a few contests six years ago and was very motivated and watched all that was on you tube at the time..felt that old bug starting up again and found there were a lot more on...im glad but wished there were more...I get inspired from others and after moving back to Louisiana,I found myself not getting around other like minded people....this helped...

[@stilllife4u]

Ruth !!! You made me cry .We all have that inside of us .Thank you for putting it into song .

[@samjrmusic]

Great examples of writing good songs .there should be more videos like this:) thank you for uploading ..

[@kitemanmusic]

How to be receptive to inspiration. That is the miracle of song writing. First verse: Inspiration. Second verse: YOU

[@freyablackthorn6969]

1:20:03 absolutely beautiful song !

[@_masterofnone_]

That song was every where when I was a kid! 😁 brings back happy memories. Made me happy then and makes me happy now 😊 Thank you!

[@thestrictlynoparking]

Angela T, I have many songs which are close to me and have a deep meaning. These are songs which have not been widely heard however have a significant impact on those who hear them for the first time.

[@MustafaBaabad]

Starting from 08:43 the song is so hypnotic. It will be extremely good to convey "universal moral messages" such as; honesty, trust, courage, care, self control, and surely LOVE to all human. That song will be an everlasting song for humanity. The world needs that kind of song. Cheers from Indonesia.

[@mustbemeech]

That’s what music is missing nowadays

[@heidigilsonmusic2800]

BNC is one of the nicest people I’ve ever talked to. She’s so kind.

[@BMoonManIRL]

Anybody know if that brilliant 11 year old (Ashley unknown?) is still writing & out there?? A link to their socials would be great! tia

[@robbievalentine8239]

This was a great seminar. I hope everyone put their ego aside and took her advice and went on to have success! I would.love to see a follow up in the description.

[@EricRayMusic]

Great class! Nothing I Can Do About It Now...Absolutely Fantastic!

[@TieDyeKitty]

Thank you for this, I always knew there was some sort of outside inspiration but could not explain it like this.

[@dougthemoleman]

Anybody know where we can find more stuff from Ashley / Ashlee? She must have grown as a songwriter by now, I'm really curious to hear more of her stuff, but I couldn't find anything.

[@mustbemeech]

Most get lost in the world and lose their true passion

[@GoodMedicine]

I'm sure there's a way to find out. I got a couple of emails when i was there (8 years ago), but idk if they would be able to help in this quest! ....

[@Mission-uh1eh]

Her name is Ashley Tubridy. She is from Ireland.

[@dougthemoleman]

@@Mission-uh1eh Thank you!

[@cheryldodd3342]

Thank you for lyrics and music song, 🎶 🎵 🙏 ❤️ they are so cool and your guitar 🎸 work, I take my hat off to you, thank you 🌺

[@sacredharps]

Id like to know where that talented 11 year old is now-9 years later. She was impressive!

[@trevorfromengland]

Brilliant content..... thank you

[@RosePetal17]

I am about to take a songwriting masterclass with Pat, and just read Beth's lyric to "Child Again." I was SO moved by such a beautiful song~~

[@dougthemoleman]

Beth's rendition of This Kiss is better than the official version.

[@freyablackthorn6969]

55:45 that child is amazing !!!

[@johnpucilla7157]

Well done. I really enjoyed this video. Regards, songwriter, John Pucilla

[@keLLyGurL2303]

Awesome ...this song im adding to Playlist that I always play....really great

[@Wozniak_15]

Wow what a great songwriter I've just discovered "All alone" song was beautiful

[@cheryldodd3342]

Sorry about that reading writing ✍️ mistake I made young lady, keep going you are going to go so far

[@HeatherDMorris]

Love her willie song .

[@chicagobob]

who was the "roady" who sang Goodbye?

[@piyushpatel8335]

That's Ruth Trimble 😊 here's a link to her beautiful song kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGm5e59uoa2ceJY

[@kesubeats4683]

everyone in this well freaking done

[@Anyse]

I really enjoyed her critiques, all of them! Now, what will these people do with them? Will they make it better or have they reached their greatest depth? I teach writing and I have to do the same thing that she does here again and again. Guide me in your writing, don't make me guess unless the whole thing is some personal secret! Then who would want to listen to it? Give me signals that reflect your thoughts and your process and, as a result, you can be a better writer or songwriter. Hooray! Beth Nielsen Chapman!

[@geburahsworld2050]

Great upload! 👏🏻

[@LealconProduction]

Wow! This was wonderful

[@kevinjoseph517]

does Beth teach in Los angeles?

[@cheryldodd3342]

What a temarkable young lady, I love you lyrics and 🎵, so deep, keep going you are doing so well ❤️ 💙 👏 thank you for sharing 🌺 🌸 ✌️ ❤️ 😊 💙 🌺

[@cheryldodd3342]

I meant what a remarkable person to the young lady thank you beautiful soul ❤️

[@keLLyGurL2303]

I need a file of just the eleven year old girls song...

[@TheOrthoptist]

Thanks for this, really interesting "lesson"!

[@unabashed26]

Beth was very kind to the child that is clearly is plant. Good teaching and good advice.

[@danielscottburke]

Lovely... 💛

[@Sonibabe555]

Beth is my goddess

[@AlanAmorosBlanco]

What she say about inspiration when making music to be online is proved by neuroscience

[@producermind9030]

Damn she is good

[@ua1439]

Only one point I SLIGHTLY disagree with: in her first critique, around 47 mins in, she says, "...you can't change who you're talking to unless it's included in the lyric of a song...", I agree to a certain extent. But a song that breaks this rule and, IMHO, that is a classic AND a hit is "With Or Without You" by U2. I'm not sure if ANYONE other than BONO knows what that song is about but it is beloved nonetheless. All that said, I think she is spot on, totally helpful and inspirational! Sand and Water has been a favorite of mine since it came out.

[@babyirene3188]

UA Love U@. But over the years Bono's lyrics have gotten crappier and crappier. WOWY is not loved for the lyrics, just the song's mood. The title is dumb and thoroughly unengaging.

[@David-ig8of]

Neil young seemed to make a habit with being quite vague with his lyrics..to me I find that if ya leave holes in the storyline, you leave places where the listener can plug themselves into the song...once they do that it becomes theirs and the listener is more attached and linked to that song forever..

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

i think the best songs are the ones that aren't "hits"

[@bjarnyg]

that's a thypical statement from someone who either can't write hits, or just don't like the music business.

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

bjarnyg Oh wow, what a clever response. You're right. I can't stand the music business. Its sleazy, and half the people who become famous are not even good enough.

[@bjarnyg]

well, i guess they're good enough, kind of. but many of these artists would be nothing without the songwriters who's pitching songs to them. even when it comes to the superstars, many of them are not amazing singers at all, but they're right for the songs.

[@Anyse]

I am sorry to make another comment. However, I am so reminded of Townes van Zandt when he talked about the songwriting process as "coming to him from out of the blue" and the he does not really write the songs himself! I feel much the same when I write a song as it seems to come out of nowhere! It is placing this as revelatory, in a divine context, that I am in disagreement with. Still, I love this workshop!

[@shelby-wu3gf]

yes

[@CuongNguyen-rt5yv]

Is that called inspiration? I have the same experience and I write only when I have been inspired.

[@armanrozika]

her voice reminds me of joni mitchell

[@babylontimes639]

Hey guys what's the 11 year old name ? At 55.

[@Mission-uh1eh]

After some searching, I found it. Ashley Tubridy

[@tkdbender]

53:49

[@freyablackthorn6969]

+Curt Hansen Exactly !!!

[@shelby-wu3gf]

I do not write a song I arrange tones. feelings and lyrics that are present at that time.

[@susanhaug9772]

Maybe you haven't heard of this, but the lady who saw nothing perhaps couldn't see anything because she had : "noun: the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present. "if counting sheep is an abstract concept, or you are unable to visualize the faces of loved ones, you could have aphantasia" "

[@tedc6694]

Seems like Ralph murphy is being channeled thru this woman ;)

[@Music-if3xg]

Thank you, I loved also writing a song

[@kevinjoseph517]

this kiss--by 3 woman, sung by a female star..clearly the buyers are female.

[@standandfight5573]

Wait. Come on. Paul Simon didn't draw the lyric, "She wore diamonds in the souls of her shoes" from a deep place in his soul like it was living there all his life. I'm not sure how that reference fit because it seems to me the Paul Simon went to Africa to work with those rhythms and musicians there and he found that lyric there from the blood diamond mining issue that existed there and the lyric is very much a literal visual. I mean wasn't it? Wasn't it reference to diamonds sticking to the souls of their shoes as they were pretty much being enslaved for labor? Just seems like that wasn't a good reference for her point to me. Maybe the "the sounds of silence" or "like a bridge over troubled waters" would be a better reference in that sense. Don't we all know that Simon went to Africa searching for inspiration at a time when he was a bit stifled himself in his own writing? Maybe he wasn't like blocked IDK but I thought I've heard him say he was in search of something to inspire him by going to Africa. Just seems like a weird reference for her point there when he wrote that line from discovery there and it wasn't exactly something he was pulling from a deeper soul cache. Which is fine, we can write that way too right? As in observing something that we can use in a lyric.
