Oh!! You’ve really touched something here which resonates for me in the songwriting world. I need those details or else the whole thing becomes musak. And then there’s a whole other phenomenon in songwriting right now where the lyrics are stream-of-consciousness from a badly considered diary and include so many “in” references that they disintegrate into abstraction. Anyhow, you made all of this bubble up in my brain in the wonderful way you do.

I love the way you take what I write and run with it. And your description of some current song lyrics made me laugh. I so often bemoan the over-produced and auto-tuned stuff that passes for music these days. Give me authentic music like yours any day!
