I thought this was about extreme precise… lol

Welcome back! Been missing you!
Ali, hi! thanks for the video! It`s very funny, that I`ve been stuck on you`re channel a few days ago and have been watching almost all you`re videos. After that You release first video in 3 years. Interesting coincidance, or not 🙂
Start with a limit on words, no other limits…
Then practice reducing words.
Ingredients unfettered, taste test after to condense and adjust. Great tips.
Wow, glad you're back posting… one of my favourite songwriting channels on youtube. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Ali, thanks for this exercise. When I was struggling with lyrics and composition two actions helped me out. First I analyzed lyrics from musicians I like such as the Stones, David Bowie. That was encouraging (ah, it is that simple…). Second, I watched a documentary about a singer-songwriter who was trying out new ideas. I learned that his ideas were not better than mine… But he soldiered on where I always stopped due to self criticism. Your video reminds of the importance of an unhampered creative stream!
Wow glad u back three years later?
This is a cool exercise! The visual helped me see that 50 words is not short, but not too many words. Nice work.
