"We need an actual song before we can parody it"-Alex in response to my lyric to rhyme with "I hoped that we would meet again face to face" ..... "I pulled out my can of mace"?!Somewhat appropriate for the subject matter of running into an ex... right? No? Okay...
"No, really, the weirdest things happen to you, way too often..." - Alex
But really, his best quote involved praise at how I've grown in the past few months as a songwriter. Apparently I've been listening to him, because I had made sure that the lyrics were conversational, and stopped trying to use not so colloquial (but apparently colloquial to me...) phrases such a "parting glance" and "stank regret" or trying to rhyme with words such as vapid, sadistic, and peruse (to rhyme with abuse?! come on!). I'm learning... :)
