You can't rush inspiration.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing about inspiration is that it takes your mind off everything else.
Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.
What to do when inspiration doesn't come; be careful not to spook, get the wind up, force things into position. You must wait around until the idea comes.
Inspiration doesn't really work like that - you're not looking out for it. Inspiration is something that tends to capture you rather than you capture it.
Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
Inspiration is the key to everything.
You can't manufacture inspiration, so a lot of it is still a waiting game for me. There's still a lot of mystery to songwriting. I don't have a method that I can go back to - they either come or they don't.
To me, the question of inspiration is an exercise in hindsight. The truth is, inspiration is mysterious at the time. I don't think it's ever a rational process.
You can find inspiration when you're not even looking for it.
I don't work with inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work.
