i don't necessarily agree with that thesis
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions.html

like most genre lables, its understood meaning has been significantly bent over time, so it's hard to seriously know what someone is talking about when they use the term

during my first semester of college, i was a more productive writer than i've ever been, even though i had to balance music between classes and an active social life. now i'm spending time at home during christmas break, and i can't seem to get anything out. i'm just kinda sleeping and eating, and whenever i open my notebook or my music software, i can't get anything going. i'm at the point where i can't even imagine being excited about songwriting anymore. have you ever experienced anything like this, and do you have any tips?
this may be the right moment to discover something different than songwriting, at least for now

based on your explanation that seems likely

Since you can play the same note on multiple different strings on guitar, how do you know which string to pluck when reading sheet music without tabs?

for fun
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions.html
When it turns into a sad face then turns back into a happy face does that mean they are having some kind of issue but they are forced to happy to hide that fact?

Pray tell what is that lick you play on the keys after the word "blue" in 9 8 7. Near the end but just before the ending groovy vamp
if you want me to give you the name of the lick i can't because it is a nameless lick. it is improvised, but it's also probably fairly typical of what keyboard players play. it's what i played in the temp demo, and it is a rare exception where i kept it in the final because it had a casualness that i didn't think i could improve upon
