The power of songwriting


I was recently turned on to a song by Peter Mulvey, “Take down the flag.” He wrote this following the events in Charleston.   It’s a very simple, yet amazingly powerful song. Check it out on Youtube.
He’s invited other songwriters to add a verse and so far, over 100 folks have done so. Check them out.

This is such a great example of how powerful a song can be. It doesn’t take huge production, just heartfelt emotion. You have to stop and listen…
