There is a real trick to it. Once you learn how chords, notes, rhythms and rhymes work - and these are the tools you need - then you lay in wait for the muse. You lure it in and trap it, and once it's there you try not to wreck it. You try to preserve the beauty of what you've been given and turn it into a song.

That for me was the search: to discover how to create songs that had that quality.
