DORO Discusses Songwriting - “Usually When I Go To Sleep, Almost In My Sleep, I Have The Best Ideas”
April 8, 2015, 9 years ago
German metal queen and former Warlock vocalist Doro Pesch discusses songwriting in a new interview with Greg Prato for Songfacts.
“I write the best songs when they are coming deep out of the soul, deep out of the heart, and when they're totally coming out spontaneous, when I don't feel I'm writing a new record or I want to do songwriting. When they come out natural, and when I have a deep meaning behind it - usually when I go to sleep, almost in my sleep, I have the best ideas.It's when the mind and the soul relaxes that you can go deeper than you would normally go. Before I fall asleep I have the best melodies and the best song ideas. Then I have to make sure that I record them, because sometimes I do it early in the morning. So I always have to act on it when I feel there is something coming out. And usually, when my heart is pumping, I get all excited, and then I sense there is a magic around it. If I don't get the heart pumping like crazy, if I don't sense the magic, then it's a good song but it might not be "the one”.”
