The state of mind that he was in... 100%.

He captured and he put it out.

Imagine writing Voodoo Child if you're sober.

Yeah, exactly.

And there's a time and a place for it.

But I have hundreds of songs I have not released that I wrote at different times in my life.

And I'll eventually put them all out, hopefully, if I'm lucky.

oh okay yeah and so every now and then you check them out a couple hundred songs in there more probably now because i write them all the time you know and uh yeah it's like it's just kind of it just it's like sometimes it's like god i wrote another one it's going to go there and then that one shoots to the top of the list of the one you're interested in because you just wrote it and then something that might be really great just gets kind of

pushed down and then like so what really you really have to do is each project that comes up you have to say what am i trying to what am i trying to get across right now and it's not about whether a song is better or worse it's about what what am i trying to say and how do i present that you know and so i have to collect 10 or 12 or 14 songs from that that kind of fit in this in a narrative you know that you're trying to put out there

I do it for the most part.

Yeah.

Well, because I have fast thumbs.

Okay.

And my brain works really fast.

And when I get really excited, I'll write it down there.

I can read it properly.

Sometimes I'll write on a piece of paper.

Don't get me wrong.

Do you ever talk it to your phone?

I use voice memo to record everything.
