"For me, there's bands like Frightened Rabbit and The View, and they've all had that Scottish accent...." — Lewis Capaldi

I don't think writing open-ended lyrics is necessarily an important part of writing good pop songs.

People like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding - I do not put myself in that category.

I think soul singers are much better singers than I am.

For me, getting my personality across is so important in getting that connection for people that enjoy my music.
