he has never said that, or mentioned anywhere close to that. Dave really just lets it come to him, and just works it out as time goes on. During Everyday, though, glen ballard showed him to just go and grab the song and run with it, that's how he wrote those 12 songs in 2 weeks. Now, as he said in Guitar World Acoustic (I got the new issue ), that he let them come to him again, but they used a lot of looping and such when recording, and worked out songs that way like So Damn Lucky.
For me, I always let it come. The song comes out with a little riff I play with randomly, and once I do that it forms itself into a workable structure. Then I will get a spark, and run to write lyrics and structure it in a spurge.
you give dave too much credit
