In the past, my process would start with a sample of another song, and I'd chop it up and use that as the basis of the song that I was making.
I don't like to make fluffy little songs, but now I want to make some light songs.
And I'm the biggest country fan there is, but I'm always a little cautious of a slower song or just a song with subject matter.
There is a song in your heart, only you can hear it. In silence, that is the song of longing and love.
