There has been times absolutely where I've, like, woken up and dreamt a lyric or a chorus. I've got, like, 15,000 voice notes on my phone. You know, it's a constant. I've written songs where I've literally sat at the piano, played four chords, and just started spewing lyrics. There's other times where I have nothing and you start with a drumbeat, place a few chords in a guitar and just start mumbling and then the mumbles turn into words.
