Tom and Jerry, from (very) rough demo to finished track. All we need as songwriters is that one flash of intrigue. Something to give a glimpse into a world that we’re compelled to build out. I live for that build-out. This one was a challenge, like many are, but for new reasons. And that’s what it’s all about. (Thank you @blakeslatkin) When I was younger, I liked making the sophisticated feel simple, and something really struck me about making something that felt simple hide its sophistication. It’s a series of moments, seemingly out of order, hardly ever repeating, but ain’t that life. :) Maybe I’ll do a track-by-track walkthrough of the song? Hey thanks for listening and still giving me a place in your heart… It ain’t lost on me. ♥️
There will be a breakup after which you lose your ability to love. That is when you become an economic unit and your sole purpose is to boost GDP per capita (nominal) till you die.
