LargeHeartedBoy picked up on this interview with one of my favorite lyricists, Mike Skinner of The Streets. This comment on the songwriting process really resonated with me:
Outside of making music, he has a concentration span of about three seconds; but he can sit down, worrying at a lyric, for hours on end. “It’s very important to have this really brutal attitude to the song, because this idea of how much time you put in is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the end result.”
