Where hit songs come from -- from Chris Martin, and Barry & Robin Gibb

The following are quotes from Chris Martin of Coldplay, and Barry and Robin Gibb, during interviews used in a documentary about the Bee Gees.

Chris:  "If you said to me, or anyone, 'Go and write a hit song right now,' they'd be able to craft something good, but it would probably be missing this magic that if you work in music long enough you understand is running everything.  Like surfers with waves.  Surfers don't make the waves.  Fisherman don't make the fish.  Song writers don't really write songs, you receive songs.

Music is this huge energy flying around everywhere and if you're lucky you get little slices of it that turn into songs."

Barry Gibb: "It's almost as if someone has already written the songs in the air and they're giving them to you." 
Robin Gibb:  "Like a radio transmission."

LOP is receiving your 'songs' on the upward spiral.
