“Earlier on, when I was writing, I always wrote the music first, and then the lyrics were a struggle, and a slog of what is this song about. When I was getting into The Institute, I was having trouble coming up with those initial ideas, so it was a good way for me to have an inspiration where I didn’t need to just pick something out of the ether.” - Ryan Burns talking about his songwriting process for his debut EP, THE INSTITUTE.
