Introductions.
March 10th, 2010 | Posted by Drummer JohnHello everyone, my name’s Colin Ablitt, and I’m a new blogger here on Steamroller. I am currently getting myself entrenched into the world of music; I am studying it + some theology at a local bible college. I’m also trying to set up a band with a good friend of mine from said college. We’re still in the writing stage right now, and we only have like, half a song, but we will be the next Coldplay. Watch out.
My love affair with music started in my early teens. Don’t ask me what bands I was into at that time. It’s rather embarrassing, as it often is for those of us looking back to those years. But I got my first electric guitar for my 13th birthday. That was the catalyst for me falling down the rabbit hole of music(an appropriate metaphor, yes?).
Since then, I have also fallen in love with songwriting. It became a great outlet for me, as I could freely express myself through melody and lyric. As I wrote more, each song became even better than the last. I might put up some how-to’s, or simply some Chicken Soup for the Songwriter’s Soul. We’ll see.
Now that I have introduced myself, let me introduce you to someone else. His name is Jeremy Larson, and he hails from Springfield, Michigan. He plays piano-heavy pop music with classical influences, or classical music with pop sensibilities. Take your pick. Either way, he’s awesome, and a brilliant songwriter.
Here’s him with an excellent loop-heavy performance of his song, “Today.”
Cheers,
colin.

I really can’t understand some parts of this article, but I assume I just need to learn a bit more about this, because it definitely sounds interesting and kind of though-proviking! By the way, how did you first get become interested with this?

Umm, if you are referring to songwriting… I first became interested in it at a young age, when I wrote a cheesy little church song called Like an Eagle. Yeah, I just started out writing simple, four-chord little tunes, and it just grew and grew from there.
Honestly, the best way to learn how to write… is to write. There’s no other way around it.
What specifically don’t you understand in the article?
