SUMMONER'S TALES...
"Songwriting is a kind of instinct and need to, I suppose, tell stories and that's what I do. I look for stories. If I write a piece of music and I structure it correctly it has a kind of intrinsic narrative to it. Music does have it - but it's abstract. It's telling you a story but you're not quite sure what it is. My job as a lyricist - when I put my lyric hat on - it's as if what is this music telling me?"
