After seeing THIS thread about Heart's new album I decided to listen to the whole thing. I was surprised that of the 10 songs on the album, only 3 were new tracks. The other 7 were remakes of songs from Heart's past. This got me thinking about songwriting. It seems that most artists come up with their best songs somewhere between 25 and 35 years old. Van Halen, Rhoads, Hendrix- all in their 20's when they were on fire. The early Heart albums have some incredible songwriting. The more recent one seem stale.
What changes in us that makes us less creative as we age? Do our brains stop creating new neural pathways thus putting us in a musical rut? You'd think as we age we'd gain more musical experience that would help us in song writing. I'm interested in perspectives on this...
