Q: When Electric Light Orchestra leader Jeff Lynne was asked weather or not the events of his album "TIME" had all been a dream, he claimed "This is what I'd like to know, because it's baffled me since I wrote it, if he has actually gone [to the future], or if he's just thinking about it. ... It could be real, or it could be a dream... I'm not sure. I'd rather not say, because I don't know either. I'm supposed to, but I don't." Have you stumbled into any of these lyrical occurrences, where you write something down that you do not understand yourself? What effect has it had on you and your ability to work on the piece?
A: the best results in music are when it seems to mean more than you could ever realize. you always want to know you'll never run out of meaning. always good to know there's a surplus of meaning, to potentially get you through a drought. so it's a good sign when the lines seem to mean more than you can explain at first. that way the meaning can continue to unfold later
