The DNA of a Song: How Humans Write Music | SOLOCAST

Episode 30 • 17th June 2026 • 15 Minutes with Dave Goodrich • Dave Goodrich | Power Song Tribe™

Ready to dive into the mystery of songwriting? Seeking a melody, a lyric, a rhythm that brings a song to life?

In this episode, we explore the ways songs come to us and contemplate humanity’s reasons for making music. We’ll talk about how some well-known songwriters often approach the art of songwriting, and I will offer up some of the ways songs have revealed themselves to me over the years.

I’m Dave Goodrich, a performing singer/songwriter/producer, and personal music coach. My life is an adventure in song and sound, and I am excited to share what I collect along the way. From the beginning, I’ve always had a deep love for music, and I‘ve spent my life creating and perfecting my lifestyle to surround it.

Join me as we discover new ways to live a richer, more satisfying lifestyle in music.

Together we can take your musical lifestyle to the next level!

Let’s go…where music is life!
