BOB SEGERI just start playing music and eventually I sing something, a line of a verse or a B section or a line of a chorus, and the line that I end up singing is related to the music I’m playing, if that makes any sense. And I go from there.
BOB SEGERAnd you pretend it doesn’t bother you, When you just want to explode.
BOB SEGEREvery now and then you’ll nail one that’s really, really special. And that’s what you live for.
