    Accidently writing a song while getting to know your new 'device' is what happend to Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics as well: it resulted in the musical hook of 'Sweet dreams'. Annie Lennox spontaneously came up with the singing melody and the words while hearing it for the first time.

    "The whole thing happened really quickly ... an afternoon's work of about two or three hours, and I wasn't really thinking about the melody at all." This theme of 'working fast' and 'not thinking' (in other words, Wu Wei) happens so often in the creative process of great music that it's fascinating how little people talk about its continual recurrence.

    Cool to see Seal on your channel. He's written 3 of my all time favorite songs; Kiss From a Rose, Prayer for the Dying, and Love's Divine. He's one of those artists like Sade who blurs the lines between Soul, Jazz, and Pop. Phenomenal voice, interesting lyrics, engaging beats, rhythms, and melodies. One of my favorite artists for sure!

    Doing something 'unusual' without knowning it was something what happened to Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders as well. She wrote songs with odd timesignatures without realizing it herself. An exemple of that is the song 'Tattooed Love Boys'. Her fabulous guitarist James Scott bluffed his way through the recording having no clue what the timesignature was. Ever thought about interviewing her Rick?
