MP: The four of us write the music and then at that point one of us will determine that they want to write some lyrics to a particular song. We’ll kind of split it up and and from there John and I will write a lot of the melodies and they write the lyrics from there. In some cases James will be writing a lot of the lyrics as well so we will hand the song off to him once it’s ready for the vocals.
