I like working on too many songs at once, because you’re never focused on one thing for too long. If a song starts to lose its magic, and I start telling myself, “I don’t know what I was thinking. This sucks,” we just let it go and move on. What else is there that needs another listen? If I stay away from a song long enough, when I come back to it, it sometimes feels like I’m hearing it for the first time. That’s a beautiful place, if you can get to it, where you’re mesmerized by the potential in a song you don’t remember writing, and you finally have the energy and enthusiasm to finish it.
