Do you write songs with no particular order to what comes first?
the only good way for me is to do it in order. there's no good way to do it out of order. so when i happen to have an idea seems to want to belong somewhere later, it's almost impossible to guarantee that it will actually fit when the time comes. And if the first idea i have is something in the middle, well, then it's a huge puzzle and there's no great way of solving that, but if that's all i have then i must solve to find the beginning and then once i have that then it goes in order
