  1. He makes it look so easy, but you really need talent and/or a gift for writing. Like myself I write beautiful lyrics, I am a poetess, but I have no musical talent :-(. So I have to work harder to get music.

  2. My process is somewhat different. Most times I write verses first and then I come up with the hook (or chorus). Lionel is such an amazing singer/songwriter I think I'm gonna try his way and see what I'm come up with!
