Song writing

[bbottom]

Have you guys ever read any books on the subject? And if so, what can you recommend?

I've been writing songs and playing in bands for over 20 years and it would be nice to be able to improve upon it.

Tons of "audio books" by well known songwriters.

I acctually read one in my early 20ies. But it didn't help at all 

But I will follow this topic hoping that something interesting will turn up.
