Marty and Clay break down what pro writers mean by “furniture” — the concrete images you can see, touch and feel — and walk through when a song needs it, how much is too much, and when it quietly kills the emotion instead of carrying it. The test to steal: write the song, then pull one image out and see whether anything is lost. If nothing is, it was never doing any work. Write on.
