I
always felt we had a more unusual writing
style. Most of the music and lyrics were
never written at the same time. I'd sit
down at my keyboards and throw together some
rough versions of new stuff I'd made up.
Then I'd make tapes of a couple of songs that I
really liked and gave them to Dave to listen
to. Then he'd sit down with a walkman or
even his clock radio and go through the songs
writing verses and choruses. Then finally
we'd sit down together and put some structure to
the songs and make a first run vocal demo.
