It's interesting that you post this. I've been watching Story Telling on the Music Channel.
If you've never seen story telling, it's when artist go "unplugged" and talk about their music and the lyrics and how songs where created.
Last night was Ringo Star talking about the Beatles and how they would write songs and how they all needed to be in the same room, looking at each other when they recorded their albums. Very interesting stuff.
Tonight is Bruce Springsteen and man let me tell you, this guy is deep. His lyrics all come from a creative process that is truly the overall beauty of music. I have a greater appreciation for what he wrote and how he came about the thoughts of his lyrics.

Now this has nothing to do with the mixing part of this post, but it does have a lot to do about where music and lyrics come from...
If you get a chance to catch Story Telling, watch it...Left Brain or Right Brain, it's all good.

Thanks for posting Bebop
