And as I was saying before, this song relates to The Smiths; the clue is in the name: Steven, as in Steven Patrick Morrissey, and you can probably figure the second word out for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The singer of The Organ, Katie Sketch, was a big Morrissey fan, and even though the lyrics are definitely inspired by him, she says it wasn&#8217;t intentional; it just happened. The lyrics are pretty dark, and that&#8217;s an understatement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Writing prompts are kind of an extinct species, aren&#8217;t they? I&#8217;ll keep throwing them at you anyway. This is a tricky one, so feel free to go back to my other articles and do easier prompts if this is your first time here, but I&#8217;d like you to do what Katie Sketch did and write a chorus\/verse\/song about a musician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Answer Below<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Organ was a very short-lived band with only one album to its name, Grab That Gun.
