do you think carefully your lyrics or just u r so good at doing music?
the music has a high amount of influence on the lyrics and the lyrics has a high amount of influence on the music. this is why it's usually so important for me to come up with them both at exactly the same time. getting back to your original question about thinking carefully, i've found in songwriting, like a river, thinking too carefully might cause the whole process to stop. so if you wanna think carefully you gotta learn to do it while the river is moving. think playfully, feel meaningfully. at speed. that's probably the best way i could explain the optimum songwriting condition, as i've found it
