      A genius wouldn’t take her biggest hit single from someone else and have to give all the songwriting credits to someone else. She was accused of and proven to plagiarize music from many people. She is attractive and has a good voice, if that’s what you call genius, sure.

    i love how he takes an everyday object or place and uses non complex words to describe it in a new, poetic perspective. he also talks about obscure emotions. my cup of tea, personally.
    most of his works are from the 90s and early 2000s, and theres no fancy schmancy shakespeare diction. and his books are at barnes and noble.

    I really appreciate what she said about needing to show up. I've been intentionally going to my keyboard and playing at least some sort of chord progression and writing it down every day, occasionally every other day, for the last couple weeks. I did one in the beginning of May, then toward the end, and then picked up my pace.
    I have poems, but I struggle combining lyrics with chords/melody.
    It's true what she said about following what other songwriters do, writing it in their style. It teaches you new ways to handle throwing in unique and cool-sounding chords or melody lines. Then you make it your own, so you're not copying anyone.
    Thank you, Olivia. :)
