I've woken up in the morning with a guitar riff I've never heard before playing in my head, it just comes to you sometimes, or you can pick up your instrument and start searching for it. I think also the quality of music you listen to matters. I find im much more creative when I've been listening to well thought out classical and blues compositions than when I've been listening to the latest hits on the radio. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't really have much control over what music I create, like i said, it just comes to me.

Have you ever heard Elvis Costello, Todd Rundgren or Pete Townshend ? All of these guys are incredible writers and have gone on record to say that though some things they write include bits of there own lives, much of what they write does not come from personal experience. And these are three of the best writers ever.

You can't fabricate creative and thought provoking lyrics, you have to live them. Bigthink Thu, 29 Nov 2007 05:11:01 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/arts-culture/music/1086/#29
