You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.

Josh Ritter chats to I Like Music

ILM: Your album The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter album came out last year, which track did you enjoy laying down the most and why?

JOSH: That's tough because I write a lot of songs and most of them don't go on record. The ones I really love are the ones that end up making it, so I'm usually having a ball when I'm putting down whatever song on to a record. But Open Doors in terms of recording, I was writing the verses as the music was going. I recorded all the music first and then sat there while the music was playing and wrote and then sang over the top, it felt pretty mad cap.

ILM: Please can you describe the JOSH RITTER music making process? Lyrics first then melody or vice versa or random?

JOSH: It changes every time. I think that is one thing that is fairly constant with me is that wherever the different working method seems to come from, I try to follow it. I feel that comes in the same way that lyrics or melody comes, it's a way to capture those things and I think you just have to be open to doing it differently almost every time.
