On Friday, Snow Patrol will release a new EP written with fans via Instagram.
. Out Friday , all proceeds from the thoughtful, often emotional album will go to The Trussell Trust, nationwide network of food banks in the U.K.about creating the EP and how his new collaborators may have changed his songwriting process for good. He added he has written three albums’ worth of songs so far during the shut down and will decide which are right for Snow Patrol when he and his bandmates can safely gather in person again.I have been writing a lot in lockdown.
One week you picked joy as a theme for the Songwrite. Was that because you were only getting lyrics about the pandemic? It's funny cause the lyrics vacillated. The theme over the course of the 30 minutes of the lyric portion of the sessions would seem to sort of push and pull between isolation, which is an obvious theme at times of lockdown, and hope, which I guess is maybe less obvious. Sometimes I would give a theme to kind of maybe try and push the hopeful side of things a little bit more. But most of the time, I just let it be that kind of tug of war between the two.
Really important. When I went offline to put the song together, that's the thing I was kind of looking for the most. I was looking for something that would survive the context, and not go down too many very specific alley ways of what was actually going on because it's really important that these songs never become something that people think “That was then. I don’t want the think about then.” I want them to live on for as long as they will.
