Ep. 1 - Radical Face: Fitting Lyrics to Narrative

"There are so many lines I like the look of but hate the sound of." // Ben Cooper (Radical Face) discusses his songwriting style with us, and deep-dives into the meaning behind some of his better known songs. We get an insight into his overall songwriting process; how he writes, rewrites and re-rewrites to get the perfect lyrics, but also the specific challenges he sets himself for each album, how constraints help him write better and how he puts narrative before the actual words on the page. Not surprising, for someone who wrote a concept spanning 3 albums (plus bonus content)!
