But my memory ain't what it used to be - arguably, it was never that good - so how to save those fleeting moments of inspiration?
I find Evernote is the way to go. It caused me a bit of panic recently as the audio note option vanished, but it was still in there - they just removed it from the list of options that pops up when clicking the big plus to create a new note. No idea why, it's about the most useful thing in there to my mind, but you can add it back in the settings!
It's great because with a quick button press, no worse than changing radio stations on your car stereo, you can sing or hum away at your phone and never need lose a flash of insight again.
Best of all, once saved on one device, you can access it on any other - my Android phone, my iPad, and my PC can all see these notes, so when it comes time to work that initial idea into a song, I can get to it!
