Best Online Songwriting Courses?

I took the infamous "Songwriting: Writing the Lyrics" MOOC course on Coursera by the renowned Pat Pattison a few years ago. However, I'm still looking to expand my palette of songwriting tools. Which songwriting course(s) would you recommend?

If you need more specifics, I struggle mostly with lyrics. Not with making them rhyme, but rather making my lyrics more dynamic and vivid, lyrics that can paint a picture and don't fall into tired tropes. :) Let's pretend money is no object. What's out there? :)

    Would love to help, but I've never taken a course... I've read a few books and that's about it.

    If I may go off-topic for a minute: IMO any kind of art is really all about the internal journey that the process takes you on, if you write a shit-ton of lyrics your own voice is likely to emerge, at which point everything becomes much clearer: what you want to say, how you want to say it etc...

    You just reminded me that I dipped into a book of his years ago, didn’t stick with it but it was definitely useful: https://www.amazon.com/Songwriting-Without-Boundaries-Writing-Exercises-ebook/dp/B006N559O8/ref=sr_1_29?dchild=1&keywords=Write+song+lyrics&qid=1588860599&sr=8-29

    Might be rambling a bit off topic, but will mention that for me, the main thing with writing lyrics is not to force it. I need a balance between maybe having a certain direction I want to go in, a germ of an idea, but leaving things free enough to let inspiration strike. For me, personally, lyrics have never come before a song, they always came when I had an idea for a few guitar chords, and the rhythm and feel of these suggested a few words, and then it gradually unfolded from there. When I sat down and though, ‘I want to write a song about X’, it rarely came out as well. But definitely courses and things can be useful, just as one will improvise better after having mastered certain skills.

    Here’s one: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/songwriting

    I did it some years ago and as I remember it was quite good.
