song writing thinking
As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.

song writing guitar
Sometimes, the best songs are the ones you write without any pen and paper or audio recording device or guitar in your hands. Because there's nothing between you and the melody; it's just a great lyric.

americas argument earliest enhances fact forests found productive sites sort walk
The fact that these productive kelp forests are found adjacent to some of the earliest coastal archaeological sites in the Americas really enhances the argument that the first Americans didn't walk here, they floated. In essence, they may have utilized a sort of kelp highway.
