"I started by looking up Ghostwriter (the old PBS show) and clicked the first episode. While I watched it, I wrote down phrases that stuck out. Every single thing I wrote in my lyrics comes from that episode. I recrafted and rewilded it. Cobbled it together. For figuring out the music, in my program, I searched "Ghost" and came up with 3-4 MIDI patches and loops to start the song structure. That started the trickle effect. So it was all from the Ghostwriter episode. I thought about the concept of ghostwriting too. Basically, creativity is genius mimicry and I'm taking what they've already said and written and I'm just reassembling it. The ghostwriter kids; they're my ghostwriter".
