When you have four people writing lyrics instead of one person, the lyrics are going to be a little more broad.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.
When it comes to lyrics, I just write down a lot of things, and only a very tiny fraction of it, I think, is any good.
Usually, writing lyrics for me is like bleeding drop by drop from the forehead.
A good idea for lyrics and a melody to expand on.
It's weird to try to write lyrics for somebody else. They can't really get behind what you're saying or what you want them to say because they didn't experience it.
Lyrics have to be underwritten. That's why poets generally make poor lyric writers because the language is too rich. You get drowned in it.
I find it harder to write the lyrics afterwards because then you're just trying to fit them into something that's already there.
I kind of need to be ambulatory to write lyrics.
I'm not a pop song lyric writer. I can't just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.
So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well.
