About this episode
We nattered and we caterwauled 'bout lyrics, punk and bands,
and we shed a little light upon how melody can expand,
and we talked of books and words and how they sometimes change a man,
and by the end, our mate Paul Armfield had another couple o' fans.
Lyrics. Are they different to poems? Are they an art form all of their very own?
Is it best to write lyrics and then fit the music around them?
How do the words of songs develop?
All will be revealed in this episode of The Failing Writers Podcast where we talk to the extremely talented and delightful Singer-Songwriter and bookstore manager Paul Armfield.
Whose brilliant new album is all about books!
