The fact that he mentioned Burt Bacharach make me love this man even more. I still can’t believe he chose not to go to the opening of Wicked.

always great hearing from the goat. i just got into musical writing myself and just had my first staged reading! i totally relate to not feeling instinctually like a lyricist. it's helped me to just brute force lyrics first because i know i can trust myself to figure out the music afterward, but i can't trust myself to figure out lyrics on top of music. everyone has their own process though
