More From Jerry Garcia

I always write lyrics first and the rhythm and the melody come from the lyrics. it always comes from the lyrics: words have rhythm and words have melody.
Writing Firsts Rhythm
There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.
Lyric Poetry Differences People
Melodies can be good depending on the context. you can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. you can also have a complex melody. the more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. you could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.
Writing Simple Giving
Sometimes melody and sometimes lyrics. it depends on the tempo and feel of the song. slower pieces usually begin with melody and faster ones with lyrics. i write for the song and it leads me to my conclusion.
Song Writing Pieces
There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.
Nice Irreverent
The melody seems to have gone to the country. the country music seems to still have melody and interesting lyrics. but pop music, you've got to really listen hard to somebody who's doing a good melody and a good lyric.

The [booker] prize was actually responsible in many ways for my political activism. i won this thing and i was suddenly the darling of the new emerging indian middle class – they needed a princess. they had the wrong woman. i had this light shining on me at the time, and i knew that i had the stage to say something about what was happening in my country. what is exciting about what i have done since is that writing has become a weapon, some kind of ammunition.
