First is always finding the chord changes which sometimes takes a long time. The rest is inspiration. Some songs must simmer for some days until I get the next idea.
The Alligator song startet with the clip of the snake-like moving alligator measuring the time and thinking of a slow waltz.

It's a pity that this obsolete song has come up front somehow and my latest one (Don't hug me, I'm digital) has totally disappeared.
