“I've always loved improvising. That's how I write songs. Creativity has an improvised element to it.” WritingSongCreativityElementsImprovising Author:Jamie Lidell
“Improvisation is risky. I like that. Another practical reason for that is that you have to go out and play every day on a tour. I couldn't do it if I thought I was going to do the same songs every day in the same order, like a full-on robot.” IfsReasonPlaySongOrderPracticalsRobotsImprovisation Author:Jamie Lidell
“You have to sit with the songs until they start to live. Or do things straight-up spontaneously. I set up a beat just like I do in the live show, add the lyrics that I wrote in thirty minutes - I already had a topic in mind because I had this crazy experience with this girl who was trying to get close to me and it freaked me out because she was really close to another friend of mine, and I thought, "This is a story, I'm gonna make this into a song."” TryingMindSongGirlCrazy Author:Jamie Lidell
“I just wanted to have some songs I could stand behind, and when I'm on stage just be loving it. People ask me why I did that and I think perhaps it's because Berlin is quite a gray place and I needed to sympathize with a bit of sunshine.” PeopleThinkingSongAsk MeSunshine Author:Jamie Lidell
