It isn't one song you're stuck on, it's a pile of them. They're in voice memos and sessions and notebooks, and some have been there for years, and every few weeks you open one up and move something around. The making has never been the problem. Getting them out of your hands is.
This training is about that part and nothing else.

You know how to write one. You know how to record one. And then there's this whole other list waiting on the other side of that, the artist name and the artwork and the upload and the date, and nobody has ever walked you through any of it. So it sits there looking like a wall you keep walking up to and turning away from.
I'll put that entire list up on the screen and you'll see how short it actually is.
There's always one more thing you could go back and fix. So the song goes back where it came from, and another month goes by, and you've written three more since. The right time doesn't show up on its own. Somebody has to decide it, and so far nobody has.
We're going to get into how you get yourself to decide, which is the part nobody teaches.
Nobody in your life does this. There's no one to ask, nobody waiting on it, and no reason it has to happen this week instead of next year. That isn't a discipline problem and it was never about wanting it enough. It's just what happens when there's nobody on the other side of it.
That's the thing I actually do, and you'll see exactly what it looks like.
#1 What finished actually means, and why your song has probably been finished for a while
You keep going back into it because some part of you believes it isn't done yet. Here's what nobody tells you: finished isn't a feeling you eventually get, it's a decision somebody makes. There's one piece of a song that decides whether it lands, and everything past that piece is just you choosing how you want it made. I've been putting songs out for twenty five years and I have never once felt totally solid about any of them, and that's exactly the point.
#2 Why releasing isn't the last step of finishing, it's a completely different thing
Most people treat it like the end of the same job, so they keep working on the song and waiting for the moment it earns the right to come out. That moment isn't coming, because releasing has nothing to do with craft. It's a separate act, and no amount of work on the song will get you to it. Your music doesn't go stale sitting there. It only goes stale if it never leaves your hands.
#3 Why almost nobody does this alone, and what changes the second somebody's there
Two thirds of the people I surveyed are figuring this out by trial and error, and 89% have never had a single person guide them through any of it. So when it doesn't happen, you decide you're the problem. You're not. This was never a discipline thing or a wanting-it-enough thing. It's that there has never been anybody on the other side of it, and you're going to see exactly what changes when there is.

25+ years writing, producing and releasing his own music
100+ of his own songs out in the world
Has walked hundreds of people through getting their first one out
Opened for Paul McCartney
Logan has been writing, recording and putting his own music out for twenty five years, and for most of that time he's been the guy in every band who actually gets it out the door.
But the reason he does this particular thing is older than all of it. His dad wrote incredible songs and never finished and released a single one of them. Boxes of tapes, pages of them, and not one that ever made it out into the world. He was the most talented guy in any room he ever walked into, and he never had anybody sitting across from him telling him that today was the day.
That's the job Logan took.
