βThe best way Iβve ever heard songwriting described is like- itβs kind of like surfing. You can practice getting up on the board as much as you want and sometimes the wave just doesnβt come, or the wave comes but you havenβt practiced getting up on the board enough. Every now and again, youβve practiced enough and the wave comes and thatβs when you write the song. So I kind of always wanted to be prepared to stand up on the board whenever the wave came.β
