Hi James,
Thanks for posting this
I'm a big fan of Andrea Stolpe. I use her book "Popular Lyric Writing: 10 Steps To Effective Story Telling" all the time. Andrea invented the concept of writing lyrics using "internal" and "external" detail. It's such a great tool to work with.

Yes, Noel. Both are great songwriting instructors.
Cheers,
James
