And music has moved on too. I don’t believe making cool sounds and grooves is very interesting any more, because we’ve had a couple of decades of that and there’s very little left to do. What I come back to is that first and foremost I’m a songwriter. I can actually write interesting lyrics and great melodies. And that’s a rare thing in these days of bleeps and blips. So that’s where I’m focusing my energy.
A good motto for me right now is this: ‘Only do what only you can do.’
