When recording songs do you ever try to look at the song kind of from an outside perspective? Like, try to detach yourself from the recording for a minute and just listen to it as if it's not a song you've written, but something that you're hearing for the 1st time on the radio or something like that? Just to kind of clear your thoughts or get a fresh view?
yes, absolutely. in an alterior location if possible. this is part of a large late phase of production which i call 'car testing'
