Summary: Songwriting has a long and rich history dating back hundreds of years. From the bards and troubadours of the middle ages to more modern songwriters like Bob Dylan or Paul Simon, songwriters change, shape, and in most cases improve the quality of life for those around them. Songwriting is made easier when the writer has a knowledge of music theory, but this kind of expertise is not a always a prerequisite, as many songwriters describe themselves as mediums rather than creators.
