And what I do usually is write the music and melody and then, you know, maybe the basic idea. But when I feel that I don't have a song or just say, God, please give me another song. And I just am quiet and it happens. ↗

The public is usually slow to catch on to new things, and it's important that musicians stick to their guns and not look for that instant gratification. ↗
