But this is the best trick! To manage to find a way to please your client, as well as yourself. This is the best trick in the world!

I'm right now, writing a "song" for a choir about "summer"! The lyrics are fine, romantic, etc, nothing like me. The song is tonal, and needs to be tonal all the way.

It's up to me to take the challenge to the next level and make something that I enjoy making.
