    i don&apos;t listen to music very much - &nbsp; i did for 30 years - &nbsp;so now i just write for me, my style which is a compilation of different styles and built mine from all of those artists. I may not be current but I don&apos;t care.

    Clay&apos;s take on switching when you come in for Chorus vs the Verse is so helpful

    I just thought of this off the top of my head... someone suggest a chorus.....<br><br>I&apos;m so niche and nobody knows it<br>When i write my songs they aint flowing<br>Nobody wants to hear a song that comes from my soul <br>I sit alone in a doorway and mumble into a keyhole...

    What I&apos;m finding interesting is when I put my lyrics into different ai platforms, there is so much variation of melody and production, that it makes me wonder how much effort must be put into doing it manually, that getting a good song seems more like hit and miss, and good luck, rather than skill (manually, that is). Hats off to you guys and our heroes of the past and future....

    It’s not the subject matter that needs to be universal. It’s the way you frame it and tell it.

    I think &quot;Authenticity&quot; is the key here.

    I love how you are both so respectful of beginning songwriters. You are always encouraging, never talking down. That means a lot.

    To me ,writing lyrics are like a tapestry of words. Weave the words into each other so that they create a flowing masterpiece in the end . No Bob Rossing your words!😅
