A Word from Tim Hanley Archetypes in Songwriting:
I often feel that the creative process is a lot like reading tarot—drawing on archetypal images that people instinctively relate to. I think that’s why my songs feel familiar to listeners, even when they’re hearing them for the first time. The stories I tell are rooted in images that nearly everyone carries.

I often feel that the creative process is a lot like reading tarot—drawing on archetypal images that people instinctively relate to. I think that’s why my songs feel familiar to listeners, even when they’re hearing them for the first time. The stories I tell are rooted in images that nearly everyone carries.
Archetypal images appear when we fall in love, lose someone, move to a new place, welcome a child, or come to terms with grief. These images don’t belong to us alone—they live in the collective soul.
Carl Jung believed that archetypes are innate, universal prototypes for ideas—blueprints of human experience that exist in the collective unconscious. When a song taps into these patterns—the Wounded Healer, the Lost Child, the Warrior, or the Lover—people resonate deeply, because they recognize those truths in themselves.
“The creative process, so far as we are able to follow it at all, consists in the unconscious activation of an archetypal image.”
— Carl Jung
That’s exactly what happens when a song is written from the soul. It’s not just storytelling—it’s the revealing of something deeper. That’s why music carries emotional gravity.
Every lyric isn’t just a line—it’s a mirror.
