When I write, I’m not aware in any kind of way of like, “Oh, this is a long song,” or, “This is movements.” If anything, I’m truly in awe of people who work in larger, scaled projects, someone who does sit down and write a symphony or an opera or a novel. I tend to live in a world of miniatures, so even my biggest work feels like a blink to me. It’s just a tiny little thing that comes and goes and floats away.
Definitely where my thinking has drifted over the last few years. Can remember being in music school as a composition major and envying songwriters because of the immediacy of their craft. Applying that to my own work now as I move forward in efforts at being honest with myself.
