In this episode of Frequency Finder, we’re joined by acclaimed Irish songwriter and artist Ciaran Lavery for a deep dive into the craft and reality of writing songs that connect.
We begin at the very start of Ciaran’s journey, exploring where it all began, the influences that shaped him, and the moments that first pulled him into songwriting. From there, the conversation moves into the practical side of the creative process: how songs begin, whether through melody, lyrics, chords, or emotion, and how those early sparks grow into fully formed tracks.
Ciaran shares insight into his lyrical approach, the art of storytelling through song, and how he balances personal experience with universal meaning. We also explore the modern world of co-writing, discussing collaboration, creative chemistry, and what makes a great writing session.
The episode also looks at the journey from demo to production, including how rough ideas evolve, when to keep things simple, and how production choices can reshape a song without losing its heart.
Tune in for an honest, practical, and inspiring conversation with Ciaran Lavery.
