“I set myself a rule before I actually write a tune to the lyrics, and the rule is that I've got to take the lyrics on to a level of understanding before I can actually write music to them. What I'm doing is interpretation. If I don't write the lyrics, therefore I must interpret them to the best of my ability. So my rule is that I must understand it, but I don't necessarily have to accept.” IfsWritingI CanUnderstandingAbilityLevelsAcceptingTunesInterpretation Author:James Dean Bradfield
“I never write a tune before the lyrics. I get the lyrics and then I write around them. Some people write music and the lyrics come along and they say, 'Oh yeah, I've got something to fit that.' If that's the way people write songs, I feel like you might as well just go to the supermarket.” PeopleIfsWayFeelsWritingWellsMightSongLike YouFitYeahTunesSupermarkets Author:James Dean Bradfield
