Songwriter Leonard Cohen passed away, and it's reminding us about the value of great songwriting.
For Cohen, it wasn't easy and instantaneous. "Hallelujah," his enduring hit, has become a much bigger success when covered by other artists.
We honor Cohen with a conversation about songwriting -- about what inspires musicians, and the value of songwriting today in a culture seemingly addicted to simple hooks. Our guests:
- Connie Deming, singer-songwriter
- Ty Gagnon, songwriter
