you're really cool and you make really neat music and that's not a question so i'll ask: how do you come up with the chord progressions for your songs?
i write the melody, which usually makes the chords obvious. it's like when you put a car in a room: and then it becomes pretty clear which room it is (garage). so almost never is a 'chord progression' written. i just write the song, and use what chords i need
