Q: you ever look at lyrics you wrote some years ago,  have no idea what to make of what you wrote, but it's potentially full lyrics so you're like "fuck it, I'll roll with it and record the thing"
A: it would never be just lyrics, it would always have the melody and musicality along with it. and yes, i have plenty of old ideas in the archive that i don't recall. but the song selection process is usually more extensive than that
