Scribbles
Short margin notes on lyrics, lines, and the feelings they unlock.
- White Stripes - 7 Nation Army — Writing can interrupt that. Not solve it, because that would be too neat and clean. Just interrupt it.
- Always Be Writing — Most writing does not begin with revelation. It begins with a sentence you are not sure about.
- Careless Whisper - George Michael — Pain is not proof that truth was the wrong choice. It is often proof that the truth finally reached the part of you that had been protected from it.
- Coming in Hot - Andy Mineo — Good writing should not feel like someone assembled it from spare parts in a clean office. It should have some heat on it.
- Lane Boy - Twenty One Pilots — The song is not arguing for sloppiness. It is arguing for evidence of life.
- Push - Matchbox Twenty — It does not present insecurity as delicate or poetic. It presents it as mechanical failure.
- Closer to Fine - Indigo Girls — The brutal thing about fear is that it can feel protective while it is quietly shrinking the room.
