Songwriting: In this episode Joe analyzes the song "Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd. This song is an amazing textbook example of modern songwriting at it's highest level. Most valuable is the use of repetition, and repetition with variation, one of the most important elements in all forms and genres of musical composition. Words and music by Oscar Holter, Max Martin, Jason Quenneville, Ahmad Balshe and Abel Tesfaye (aka The Weeknd).
