“I would have issues with directions songs were taking, but I never heard one of Carlos' [Dangler] basslines and said, "I don't like that, do something else."

“I didn't come in and say: "I'm a singer." I came into the band as a second guitar player and a vocalist, but not the songwriter. I had been writing poetry for years, so I sort of had the nature of the words. I felt like no one else could sing my lyrics, so I took a crack at it.” WritingYearsFeltPlayerBandGuitarSingersCracksSongwritersGuitar PlayerWriting PoetryVocalist Author:Paul Banks
