I don't have a Twitter or a Facebook, but that doesn't mean I'm any more productive than the rest of the world. ↗

I don't play an instrument - I just write in my head, and I usually hear fully formed songs. 'We Are Young' turned out so much like it was in my head. But it also exceeded all my expectations. ↗
