such a hauntingly beautiful record — will forever be associated with big life changes and with fall

On repeat!!! Funky, dark, atmospheric.
‘Waiting for Another Moon’ feels like if the opening credits to Saturday Night Fever (john travolta strutting) was instead a funeral march. fucking sexy.

there’s this band called Big Star that started releasing records in 1971 that capture an indie rock/folk sound i think more clearly than any artist had before, but had no real success while they were first active in the 70s.
their sound was so undeniable that we start to see a new generation of musicians that discover the band and create music inspired by it with much greater success, an inspiration that can be undoubtedly heard in these musicians’ writing.
my favorites of these Big Star Influenced artists:
Elliott Smith (and thru him, phoebe bridgers)
The Replacements
R.E.M
Wilco
Teenage Fanclub
Jeff Buckley
(and many more)

hi there! funnily enough I also go to school for songwriting (kinda, I'm a music production major but I'm in songwriting class with all of the songwriting majors and have been writing for a long time as well). if there was one text I'd recommend for working on your songwriting and lyric building process it'd be the exercises in the book "How to Write One Song" by Jeff Tweedy. he basically just shows you how to jumble up your current way of thinking about writing and finding new ways to put words together that you never thought you could do.
P.S. your line about wanting to creating lyrics that move people is very relatable and I understand that want very much and know you probably already are moving people and that as much as we want to be able to write like our heroes as soon as possible, our own just as powerful sound will come eventually with slow and hard work. I'm sure you know this but I thought I would say.
feel free to message me if you'd like to talk songwriting more—happy writing!
