"These moments of inspiration, for want of a better word, are moments of transparency, really. The thing that gets in the way - in our lives, not let alone in creativity, most of the time - is our brain, which steps in as a sort of editor of what we're seeing and receiving from our senses, and adds sort of consciousness to it, and we become aware, and it obstructs our progress in certain, sort of spiritual ways. So, there is a spiritual element to making music. When inspiration comes, you somehow have disengaged your consciousness just a touch. The flow of images comes, and it comes so quickly and so freshly that you know it's just a transparency, really. You've managed to remove the barrier, and you're just reaching straight in to the good stuff. And then, all you're using your brain to do is, as the process plays itself out, you arrange, like a collage type way; 'Oh, that image would be better there, or maybe I could use that in the chorus'.
