I recently met Patty online, and knew immediately from her comments and suggestions on a lyric of mine that I was going to benefit tremendously from her input. She is articulate and insightful, a fine teacher as well as lyric writer. And she is so generous with her time and thorough in following up on revisions made after her input.
Patty has a wonderful process for creating a story and a message within a song. And her lines and stanzas are imbued with feeling. For someone who has discovered the world of lyric writing so recently, she has quickly grasped the subtleties of the craft so necessary to go along with her writing talents and education. Her lyrics lend themselves to music in the most natural way.
I'm so glad she has shared in the interview her philosophy on songwriting and her process. There is so much to be learned from her, and I will certainly be watching for her future works as a lyricist and recordings of her songs.
