Notes On Songwriting:  "No matter how many songs I write, I am still amazed and a little awestruck that it happens at all. How does a song get started? How do you know where to go next? How do you know if your song is any good? Well, I'll try to answer the first two questions in this article. The third question - How do you know if your song is good? - is answered like this: A song that expresses what you feel is a good song, even if no one else thinks so. A song that expresses your thoughts and feelings in a way that reaches other people, helps them feel something deeper or understand something better - that's a really good song."  (Robin Frederick) More...

Love & Longing: The World Of Poets and Muses: "Perhaps the best way to describe an encounter with the muse is this: somewhere in your past there is a person who comes back to you in dreams. Maybe you barely knew them, perhaps it was only a brief encounter but you have never forgotten the face, the moment, the sudden sense of recognition. " (Robin Frederick) More...

A Place To Be: "There seems to be something about Nick Drake that keeps people from wanting to look too closely - at his life or at his music. Perhaps we fear the magic will evaporate, or we will suddenly see the strings that keep the angels in the air. But real art can withstand the most intense scrutiny. And, in fact, as we examine and peel away each layer, yet more wondrous layers appear. That's exactly what happened when I began to listen attentively to Nick's albums..."  (Robin Frederick) More...

This is the story...: "A short while later, the wonderful British singer-songwriter Bridget St. John sent me a demo of a song she'd written in response to 9/11. Her voice was even more compelling than I remembered. I immediately asked her if she'd sing a duet with me and she agreed. I didn't know what it would be - a duet for two female voices is unusual - but I set out to write something just for us." More...

Album Reviews: "I love it! Musically mystical and evocative with enough body grounding groove to balance it. Lyrically cliché-free with some profound observations ... effortlessly walks the road between emotion and intellect, the abstract and concrete." More...
