Elijah worked with me on polishing a lyrical rough draft. I probably gave him more work that he bargained for but he stepped up and gave me some brilliant wordplay to work with. We had several back-and-forths and he was responsive and clearly considered my feedback into his revisions. The song is much better thanks to his ideas. Thank you, Elijah.
