Speaker 1: That's a fascinating thought. Me.

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: Hang on, are you saying that as a songwriter you

43
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: will leave a song unfinished for years and then come

44
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: back to it later, and then inspiration hits you to

45
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: finish it.

46
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: Indeed, that's what happens with me. And if if I

47
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: feel it's it needs something, and I will just leave

48
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: it and cut back to it. I don't just play

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: anything and just throw it in there and say no,

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: this is a finished from No. I don't work that way.

51
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 4: So it has to be finished, and it has to

52
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 4: have a statement and it must have a story of

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,040
