11. tragic songwriters tale.

Like so many others. It has to be worse now with streaming, but ASCAP still gives them a cut.

She says she wrote Windy in 20 minutes, and that's amazing, but she only wrote the opening lines in the OP and the chorus over and over and over again until the fade.

Seriously, it's like they stretched out a one minute song to jukebox length:

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)

And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds (above the clouds)
Above the clouds (above the clouds)

Who's trippin' down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees?
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment?
Everyone knows it's Windy
