/ 17/01/2017 / codex– The fastest way for me is to start with the title. After I have the title, I start with the chorus. And once I have the chorus, the chorus writes the rest, he says in the video interview.
And what should the verses do? Well, they should be shaped so that the choruses get heavier every time you hear them. You'll find this, and several other good tips, if you watch this short video interview with the EDVARD winner.
He also performs "Everyone Needs a Friend", best known as the breakthrough hit for "Dance with a Stranger".
