JT, thank you again for making my life easier as an artist. I love the writing process so much but often get stuck on lyrics. I can get the main hook and loads of ideas, but pulling into a strong narrative just feels harder to me than the rest of the writing process. Elton, has Bernnie, I got JT ;)
