For example, starting from square one binge-watching your new favorite Netflix show would be a well received undertaking. How about starting from scratch on your new music album? Well, that could be a whirlwind of uncertainty, eagerness, excitement, and perhaps paralyzing fear. We can see the massive thought bubble forming as you sit down to figure out who should be involved, the financial aspects, oh yeah, and what about the actual creative content?

With Davidson\u2019s process specifically, they wrote a couple different versions of \u201cWhere the Morning Glories Grow\u201d after mastering the chords using videos on YouTube.
