I've been reading through my old notes. I have millions of them. Reading through old notes is a very good way of writing new songs. There's often really good bits that got thrown out years ago that make better sense now. I went right back to my first album notes. It had a song called 'Get Out Of My House' which never made it. I have written so much stuff over the years. The corners of the pages are also very interesting. Reminders about meeting people, random thoughts and phone numbers. The notes to myself always seem a bit weird. Motivations for writing the songs are always completely at odds with what the song has achieved. I've said it before, but once the song is done it just becomes something we all know with no idea how it got there. I don't feel like the same person who wrote the early songs. Even though I'm doing the same thing I always did. And writing the same songs.
