my brother writes uh songs and he does it in his own unique fashion but for you do you have a melody and you put the lyrics to it or do you think of kind of a poem and then try and put a melody to it no normally it's melody first and then i fit the words to that and i try to do that in in whatever sort of interesting or poetic way that i can so you might be walking around your house doing whatever blah blah blah and then suddenly you have a little kind of jingly thing in your head and you spend a bit of time thinking is that a beatles song is that a led zeppelin song and if it's not then you start to kind of flesh it out well normally i'm sitting with an instrument normally guitar and when i do that if i'm just going around the house then it'll be normally just comedy songs songs about the dog or why the fridge light doesn't work or things like that but if it's an actual song then i'm normally on an instrument and then actually thinking about chords and as you see distilling it you know at probably the last few years i got very into kind of playing with tempos and and weird chord structures but that's all coming back to you know just play three chords and just just uh think of a good melody you know and a massive mistake that i made in my younger years and i i endeavor to not do it nowadays because the amount of times i've done it and i thought no this time it'll be different and it's never different is if you've got an idea or a thought or whatever a melody and and it's night time and you go to sleep and you think i'll remember that in the morning you will not remember it in the morning will you well a lot of people see that's why leonard and mccartney were so brilliant is because they had each other in the room right and they wouldn't leave the room until the song was done whereas if it was just mccartney he might have got a verse and went i'll finish this after lunch yeah and you wouldn't finish it and then i think it's a big thing in our isn't it actually take the time to do it that's that for me anyway i don't know about you that's the most difficult thing for me yeah to finish to have to have the start of an idea and get through and then say i'm actually going to sit here for two hours and finish it yeah it's difficult that's when studios i think come into their own or office space when you come out of the house and you're in in a place where you know that's what you're doing for that time right the structure yeah yeah i've had it because there's something magical in your brain going on as you're falling asleep or as you're just waking up in the morning and i have had fully constructed fully realized poems as i'm falling asleep and i ah this and this oh that's great great cool so just remember the start of it and then the rest of it will flow in the morning and wake up in the morning it's gone yeah so now i just have my voice recorder on
