Ed Sheeran Songwriting Advice...

What Ed’s saying is when you sit down for any creative session, the bad ideas come first. Instead of resisting them, write them down. As your brain sees more and more ideas, it begins to pattern match the interesting parts. Then, after a little while, the good ideas start to flow.

If you turn a dirty tap on it’s gonna flow shit water out for a substantial amount of time and then clean water’s gonna start flowing.
