I like the romantic theorgy of "where the best songs come from" but I also admire the song crafters who grind out waste quantities of songs, out of which a few great ones still float to the top. It's a hard business, this songwriting, and if we had to wait for the muse to strike before composing a song we songwriters might not be so filthy rich!
