Song For Another Time is a song or idea that can seem quite simple or useless to a person in one moment, and then can at “another time” can become very important and useful to that person.

These are lyrics about the power of those types of simple songs and ideas and people’s psychological biases against them, written by personifying a song that knows this pattern better than the listener.

Lyrics About are ideas captured in original lyrics that are written for purposes beyond creating immediate polished art.

I write original lyrics about ideas and share them in text, song drafts, pods, and talks, as well as work with artists, leaders, and everyone to use the power of the lyrics about approach.
