How to write a song using Ben Folds' techniques

Welcome to The Songwriter’s Workshop. This is the series where I attempt to write songs based on the process and techniques of famous songwriters. Each video looks at a different songwriter’s writing habits, musical inspirations, and creative process while also including an original song written using those techniques. In this video, I look at the songwriting process of Ben Folds found in his memoir A Dream About Lightning Bugs. I use his techniques like stepping away from your instrument to let ideas form and his unique writing style to create my own original song "Wasted Prodigy".
