The dog days of summer, perfect days for floating a river and taking a dip in a spring. That's a killer track! I can totally see Karen C behind the drums on that. Appreciate the insight into your songwriting process, that's really fracking cool to see how it comes together, truly decades in the making.

Thanks for the songwriting secrets. I relate to them. I have an album stuck in the 70% phase and it’s been difficult to push through and finish. I will remember your tips and keep grinding.

I feel you! There's so many decisions to make. I find it overwhelming at times, but if we just tackle one thing at a time, eventually we get there. Keep going, looking forward to hearing what you've been working on ❤️

I recently learned the term accretive "relating to or characterized by accretion : produced by or growing by a series of additions of identical or similar things" and your songwriting process reminds me of this.

The 6 insights into the unsolved mystery of songwriting are great!! I will come back and read them whenever I am wondering about my own writing process! And I can hardly wait for the ALBUM!!

Excellent as always Shannon. Number 5, yes. I have begun to truly appreciate those baby steps can lead to big achievement. Question...why no posted lyrics on Spotify? Thanks, take care, look forward to seeing ACTORS in November.

Always appreciate you opening the kimono, so to speak. Writers do seem to fall into either the gradual or lightning categories. SOOOOO stoked about the Mr L. video - it's fantastic!

Great to see Mary having fun staying cool(ish)... Cheers!
