SUMMONER'S TALES...
"My career since I left The Police has been song-driven. I'm interested in lots of kinds of music, and the music tells me stories and I have to follow what the story indicated is. I believe firmly that music has a narrative and, if you've construct it in the correct way, it has a very coherent narrative. My job as a lyricist is to hear that and then make that into a character or a story. That's the hardest part and the most satisfying part."
