Q: Are there times you decide to finish a song from the list and use other snippets to piece it all together? Or do you prefer each idea to be separate of the others?
A: in my experience, combining songs is not a good strategy. each song has its own very unique needs and it is important to consider exactly what that song needs in order to make it the strongest song. combining 2 halfwritten songs would be kind of like combining 2 half built houses and hoping it makes sense. although i suppose it may work for some people, and i think that's great. the last time i revealed here that i don't combine songs someone got mad at me. so it is important to emphasize the fact that other people may have success in doing that but it is not something that i think makes sense for me
