Teddy Thompson chats to ilikemusic.com


If you really want to do it, you're doing it for the right reasons. But, it beats working down the mines.

ILM: The songs on your album are so finely crafted and you've said you find it easier to write sad songs because they flow out. Please can you describe the Teddy Thompson process of making such graceful music?

TEDDY: I don't know if I can. I don't write that many songs. I write quite slowly so I'm not particularly prolific. That's code for, 'I'm lazy'. So it usually takes me a while to finish a song, with certain exceptions. Sometimes they pop out quicker than others. It's survival of the fittest as well. I usually have a lot of semi-finished songs on the go, and then I just kind of believe that one is good and I'll get it finished and make it to the end somehow and others won't, so it's probably meant to be. It usually starts out with a bit of both (lyrics and music), with an idea that goes with a tune or a word. And I actually do it more together than most people, I let it come together, the words and the tune together, but you've got to slog out different bits and sit down and try and improve the word, the bit, here and there. And then work on the tune a bit more. I couldn't be teaching one of those master songwriting classed because I wouldn't know how myself.
