A comment on the "10,000 songs" episode claimed nobody songwriting at that volume could possibly write anything good — so Marty and Clay take it head on. They make the case for volume as a songwriting craft habit: it forces you past your three obvious ideas, it keeps your skills and creative flow sharp, and it gives you more shots when a real song pitch opportunity shows up. Then they give the counterweight, from Leonard Cohen's 80-plus verses to seasons where stepping away is the right call. The takeaway isn't a song count — it's writing consistently and letting the great ones come out of the work. Write on!
