How true can this really be about
Say You Will, though, at least as far as Lindsey's songs are concerned? He wrote and recorded all the songs himself well before the idea to throw them onto a Mac album came along. So didn't he write the bass parts as well?
Actually, I realize I have very little idea of what the SYW recording sessions were like. I didn't read The Ledge much at the time the album came out, and i've never seen
Destiny Rules. Anybody want to fill me in? Was it mostly just writing and recording all of the music for Stevie's songs, since nearly all of Lindsey's were already 95% complete?
