Room to Dream

‘I wanted “Song to the Siren,” by This Mortal Coil, for the film, and I wanted that song, I wanted it, and I told Fred, “You fucking get that thing, man,” and Fred said, “David, there are a bunch of problems,” and it was mainly money—money, money, money. So Fred said, “David, you're always writing little things on paper; why don't you send Angelo some lyrics and he can write a song.” I said, “Fred, first of all, there are twenty-seven zillion songs in the world. I don't want one of them. I want this song. I want ‘Song to the Siren' by This Mortal Coil. I don't think I'm gonna write things on a little piece of paper and send them to this guy I hardly know, and he's gonna write something that will top what I want. Not in a million years. Get real, Fred.”

Made me laugh quite a bit. Not too much in the way of any real insight, just funny little stories which is enough for a thumb through.
