"It's harder to do something simple than it is to do something complicated."

  • January 20, 2012
  • Popjustice

That Brian Higgins thing yesterday was really inter­est­ing.

It goes on for ages. He talks about obsessive focus, fear, and Dannii Minogue. The idea of the talk is that he discusses song­writ­ing, but a lot of what he talks about in relation to penning pop tunes is basically life­coach­ing GOLD.

You can watch it at this link.

It might try to make you watch a video called 'GUITAR WORKSHOP'. If it does that you will need to abort mission then select the Brian chat from the 'carousel' thing under­neath the video window.
