DUE IN

Discussion

The question is: how many of us are going to write the chorus first?

and how many of our choruses are going to want (beg) to functionally serve as verses and are we going to try and fight that or let that just happen

If a chorus is sung alone in a forest, is it still a chorus?

I’m more of a Triassic guy myself, so this could get a bit awkward…

everything since the primordial soup has been a waste of time

“must write faster”

“and uhh here I am now by myself, uhh, commenting on ncbc to myself. uhh that’s, that’s chaos theory.”
