Leave it for however long, maybe a week, maybe a few months, maybe more. I came back to a song from a year ago & because it felt fresh to me, I was able to transform the melody to give it that elusive 'lift' I had been searching for when writing it.

I like to have several songs unfinished. I go back to them and work on them when I don't have anything new to write about. What's the rush to complete a song anyway? Let it simmer for a while, add some spices, taste it, when it's right you'll know. Maybe it just isn’t ready yet. I like to have several songs unfinished.
