That's how the Still Into You and Ain't It Fun riffs both happened. "Sometimes when I'm not feeling particularly inspired by the guitar I like to write melodies on the piano, then learn them on guitar. That's an essential part of the process, but a frustrating pill to swallow at times. You have to be okay with failure and subpar songs, too. Good songs will eventually show their faces in the midst of you just showing up every day. It's not about trying to write a huge single or write what you think will be successful. I had to learn to really let my heart and mind be open so that I was available when inspiration struck. "I've always been lucky enough to have been a small part of the songwriting process on every Paramore record, however this was the first record that the bulk of the music writing was in my hands. When did you first start writing guitar music, and what are the key lessons you've learned as you've developed? You're a key songwriter in Paramore, and the latest album is the band's most mature yet. It was a lot of work and took longer than I wanted, but we eventually got it there! Now that we've proved that, though, it's nice to let a real drummer do that part and I can just be a guitar player." That EP was definitely a statement that we needed to make - that we could do it on our own - so no matter what I was determined to play drums on those songs. "Drumming is one of my favourite things in the world to do, so I was excited for the challenge, but I wasn't experienced and felt a bit unprepared.
