City life or small-town life?

Honestly, I still hesitate when answering this question. I used to think small-town life could boost creativity, that it’d help compose more songs. But I haven’t noticed a difference. It’s all about the limits you set for yourself.

Sometimes it’s like: “I need to write a positive song, with an electric guitar, 3:50 length, it should sound as good as my X song, etc. etc.”, but that doesn’t make sense to me. Your project should capture the moment of your being, so why change that being just to write a ‘good’ song?

The fewer rules you set for your creativity, and the less you expect from your art, the more creativity you’ll find. When you make music for fun, when you’re not trying so hard, when it just flows and you don’t push it, it is so effective. It’s THAT simple, and it’s crazy. 😭
