In this episode we talk with Craig Bickhardt about his poignant song “This Old House,” which he co-wrote with fellow Pennsylvanian and Hall of Fame songwriter Thom Schuyler.
This is the second half of our conversation with Craig, during which we discuss the human relationships and deeper emotions behind our relationship with things, including cars and houses . “To be a songwriter,” he says, “you really have to love the human experience. You can’t just love songs, you can’t just love songwriting, you can’t just want to make money. You’ve got to love what everybody loves in life, and you have to discover those things.” He also talks about the perils of soliciting feedback on a songwriter’s work, and how he’s navigated challenges in his own life.
