How important is music to your poetry?
Music is one of my main interests and some lyricists (e.g. Thom Yorke, Hannah Fury, Courtney Love, Katie Jane Garside) have influenced my writing. The more you write, the more you become aware how limited words are as a tool for capturing and conveying meaning. It’s impossible, really, to have another person understand what your words mean, other than on the most basic level: what I mean by ‘love’ is different from what you understand by it. Music allows you the possibility to circumvent all that.
