MONDAY Q&A 2/10/20

Q:  You seem to go to great lengths to showcase the song lyrics on Beauty In Chaos songs, which seems rare in today's music.  As a lyricist I appreciate that.  What is your motive behind this?

A:  Well I don't think there is a 'motive', and I try to have as little in common with 'today's music' as possible !!  I think BIC has been blessed with some amazing lyricists, and I do think it is important for people to be able to read them.  I think most are very 'interpretive' meaning they are open to the listen to find their own meaning in them; even if different from what they writer meant.  Since the current working method in the BIC madness is that we send 'almost complete' music tracks to the singers, it is really a joy to see where the soundscape takes them ... lyrically and melodically.   I know I used to (and still do) love pouring over the linear notes and lyrics when I get a new album…. I sincerely hope everyone takes the time to read them, and let them move them however it does. MC X
