> achieving clarity while leaving negative space for the listener to make meaning.
Yes! This articulated the goal I've been working towards myself. Balancing ambiguity and clarity. Really enjoyed this and looking forward to more.
Especially thinking of the medium's relationship to short stories. One of the most useful classes I've taken in songwriting was in George Saunders' book analyzing Russian short stories (A Swim In The Pond In The Rain). Similar to what you said in that every single word counts!
Thanks for doing this!
