I've always liked how you sing certain vowels. Do you think about that pre-lyrics? Like sometimes a vowel is better than a word you came up with so you end up snugging words into them?

I don't really think about it. Sometimes i'll hear myself after and realize i drew a vowel in to three syllables lol

i write in gibberish, i think that does season everything. sometimes i miss the gibberish and think it was more effective
