The most important aspect of putting a song together is the subject matter/story line.


Subject or story is a big thing for me with music. I am curious to hear how artists like the Decemberists write their songs and what their methods are, as they can really weave a good story! And they rarely sound the same.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the topic!


Cheers,
