Summary

In this episode, Clay Mills and Marty Dodson break down why song ideas get lost in voice memos and notes — and how professional songwriters organize their titles, melodies, and lyric ideas so nothing slips through the cracks. If you want better songwriting systems, stronger co-writes, and more finished songs, this one’s for you.
