477: Alanis Morissette on Living Healthy to Enhance Mind, Body & Life
The Jesse Chappus Show
How Long Does It Take to Write a 15 Minute Song?
When i sit down to write, if there's a theme or a dialog that i want to focus on, or a relationship, the song, music and lyrics writes itself very quickly. And usually with no changes to be made in terms of the actual writing of the song. So, uh, i trust that. Now, when i first started doing it, when i was quite young, I would always, you know, cross my fingers that a song would come."
