Hey Nicole very detailed question inbound.
I currently am trying to write a song and I'm having a few issues. I currently have two parts of my song, the intro and chorus in 6/8 and the verse in 4/4. My question is do you have any ideas on how to transition between the two? I figured going from 4/4 to 6/8 I would just add a rest for the music, but going from 6/8 to 4/4 is tricky, because it sounds really weird. I would normally try to split them into separate songs, but they're in the same key and I feel like it would sound better if they were together.
Also, whenever you have a song "fragment" how do you typically try to develop it out? Do you develop around making lyrics fit or about the music itself, with the lyrics added later?

Loving this Goodnight Rhonda Lee album, which is getting me digging into some of your collaboration work. I love the stuff with Robert Harrison especially, Cotton Mather is such a great band. How did that come about? And how do you decide who and when you will collaborate with?
EDIT: The Bash & Pop song is freaking great too!

Her choice. I’m not sure which acct will be used for the ama tbh but we’ll find out! lol
Seltzer water, lime juice and a splash of agave syrup. So refreshing! Also Yerba Mate tea sodas.

Unfortunately I think I missed the Spongebob boat!
Well this will probably always change depending on where I'm at in the day but off the top of my head:
Karl and the Passions- So Tough
Mercury Rev- Deserter Songs
Pink Floyd- Meddle
Mark Lanegan- Bubblegum
Traffic- John Barleycorn Must Die
Unfortunately there's a list of downsides still but ones for me would be:
Super creeps, creeping on my looks or commenting on my body online and at shows, like dude no
Having my musical ideas undermined or undervalued or unheard all together
