“Besides my fast and slooow songs, I further divide my work into three main song types: the ballad or story song, the variation on a theme (saying the same thing over and over and over again) song, and the weird song. It's important to have weird songs, but I find that a little weirdness goes a long way.” WayWritingLittlesLongImportantStoriesSongThreeTypeThemeSongwritingDividesLong WayVariationWeirdnessBalladsSaying The Same Thing Over And Over Author:David Massengill
