Estelle chats to I Like Music
ESTELLE: Well there's one song, we wrote a song for one of John's demos. I had it written down and we were like that's one of the best lyrics that will ever come up. It says, you're the gold in my sun, the silver in my moon, why can't I be everything to you. I was like, 'the gold in my sun and the silver in my moon?! Shit. That was my line. I just thought it was a beautiful phrase. I just came up with it, it just came out. I always write my lyrics down. Then he put that bit in the end, 'why can't I be everything to you?' That was good.
There are plenty of other classic song lyrics. Ella Fitzgerald and Cole Porter, another stupidly good lyric. He was saying 'mistreat me, do whatever, but I'm yours till I die, so in love with you am I?' And I'm like, there's no such thing as that right now. I've not seen a person that loves like that right now. Imagine that kind of love. He also wrote from the other point of view. 'How do you love me when I do all these crazy things to you?' Yeah!

Steff, Webmaster Musebr.com: ilikemusic because... the shows are very good, we make friends, we jump, and everybody scream so loud, and for a moment we forget all the problems of the world!
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
Omid16B: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel whole and makes me feel like I have my feet on the ground. It makes me feel love again and reminds me of what we are. It allows me to express myself.
KT Tunstall: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel alive!
Robyn: ilikemusic because... It’s the way I want to express myself. It’s not a choice. It’s just always been there. It’s just what I do.
