    Thanks for sharing pipopieman!

    Q: Any other songwriting tips you can share?

    DG: "Understatement. We live in a world of ludicrously high drama verging on hysteria. There's so much over-writing, over-singing and over-producing. As is proved by Adele's success, it doesn't have to be that way.

    "Try and make the simplest elements as powerful as possible rather than looking for a gimmick. Don't try and 'fix it in the mix', writing-wise - just try and get it right without over-writing. And keep at it - the more writing you do, the more good stuff you'll do."

    He's right, no amount of producing or mixing could have saved Foundling.
