May 19, 2016 6:09 pm
“What is songwriting? What is it all about? … True songwriters are people who are able to release themselves from something that’s really affected them by writing a song about it.
“Some of us see it as going to church, some of us see it as going to work, but at the end of the day, if you’re not connecting to the spirit you’re not making true music.”
— Damon Albarn (on receiving his Lifetime Achievement award at the Ivor Novello Awards 2016).
