The Dreamer and the Sleeper Q & A Series #005

From Ben Knight: When you write songs, what inspires you? What is your personal writing process?

Answered by Nick: For me personally, I don't think I have the most efficient writing process. I have like 100 songs that are unfinished. Basically the songs I finish are the ones you hear on the albums. And those usually take me 4 or 5 months to finish. I am a relatively SLOW writer. I don't ever really sit down to write a song either. It's always when I'm just dicking around on the guitar and I find something that sounds cool. I find that I struggle to write complete songs more than Easton does. But I think this is another reason why we've been able to work so well together as musicians. Where one of us lacks the other tends to pick up the slack. I consider Easton to be a song writing machine. You could literally give him a topic and he could write you a full on, bad ass, acoustic pop song within about 24 hours. He may not admit this but trust me, it's true.
