I think the best songs are being written by the very under-stated, under-appreciated indie artists. The thing that separates them from mainstream success is they either consciously or unknowingly refuse to deliver on a big chorus.

I have a theory that you can decide to make whatever day it is a good day.

I am not opposed to doing a side project, like Death Cab for Cutie, where it's completely different from my own band.
