You can hear a lot of your literary influence in a line like Forte Gazer Wild. Do you spend a lot of time crafting the exact number of syllables and rhymes? No. But I like referencing literature. You're part of a long tradition that goes further back than the Beatles. John Dowland's music was probably the first known English songwriting. And we owe him a debt.
