But, uh, Well, musically, yeah, it's kind of like what we were saying earlier. It's like each genre has its language of what makes it that genre. And that would be a good thing to say it's defined by the do's and don'ts because, yeah, it's like I'm trying to think. Basically, I put the song first, and I think of the song as the melody, the lyrics, and then the harmony, and obviously the groove.

They're both things that are held in my mind. It's like, okay, genre, and then song, which is comprised of those basic elements. Yeah. And I tend to kind of prioritize lyric because somebody is trying to express something over music. And so the lyric is very, very important. And so then the choices come from there. It's like, okay, within the genre of X, this is the typical language.

And then how do I best serve this lyric? And then... Where else can I pull from that might not be in these two bags that would put a little twist on it?

So those are all the kinds of things I might be thinking about. But I don't like twists for the sake of twists either. I like twists because I want to hear something that might be fresh.
