I think my viewpoint is going to be a little bit different than what other people have shared.
I honestly don't give a flying flip about analyzing any aspect of what I do musically and making any plans about it whatsoever; as a matter of fact, I'm vehemently opposed to it.
I will put the climax in the the first five seconds if I feel like it. Or not. Who cares.
The world that we are currently living in is a spiritual and cultural garbage dump, a festering stinking landfill.
I don't watch or read the news and I couldn't care less whether Spotify and every celebrity in the world blows up and lands on the moon in a crater.
Music is the best place where I can go to just be myself and do whatever I feel like. I go there to experience the freedom and joy of hearing whatever comes out the other end of whatever I'm doing.
So I just do whatever I feel like and if anyone likes it that's cool and if they don't like it, again I really couldn't give a flying flip.
The way things are looking we've got another five years left before the entire thing explodes around here unless there's a massive massive change so I'm not wasting any time worrying about whether anyone is listening to my songs on YouTube for 10, 20 or 30 seconds.
I'm just doing what I feel like and I really don't care.
That's my process to songwriting and again I don't care if anyone likes it or not or has a better idea.
So there.
