Hey Kristi,

Yes, I quite agree. To develop a storyline, and a theme, and then be able to compress it into 4 minutes, with relevance and detail, is a hard ask. That's where a lyricists talent lies, in my opinion. To use a word, a phrase, to capture a moment and create great imagery.

I've learnt a lot from this thread. Sometimes, we are so focused on outcomes, that we miss the small detail, which enables a work to be whole. If each part of the team focus's on their detailed part, knowing that others do the same, you can't help but get a better result in the end.

As you say, without the 10%, the song will fall on it's ass. Likewise, all the other parts.

Interesting and constructive approach here.

cheers, niteshift
