I'm a young musician who hasn't yet figured out how to understand most things without learning them academically, and I am frustrated because I cannot currently access an education that goes deeper than basic classical music theory.  If you wouldn't mind sharing, could you explain some of the techniques you use for musical development in your songs?  Like, what are ways you can make the different parts of the songs sound different from each other?
after embarking on countless diligent studies, i have conclued that the only way to really do it is just get to know many many songs like friends, and just get to know them. and when the time is right you will be hopefully have the capacity for friendship within you
