Q: what prompts you to pull out the whopper vocabulary, like tenacious or embrightened? its almost like as wonky out-there chords are to harmony, those word choices are to lyrics
A: at the time i came up with the 'tenacious' line, i did not know what the word meant. and 'embrightened' i just made up. i'm not sure if that's a word, it was just my own personal remix on the word 'enlightened / enlivened.' using words that feel like they make perfect sense even if you didn't think you had heard of them before, that's where the fun times are had in song writing
