Song 2 - Mr Writer by Stereophonics

Keeping up with writing theme for the second song "Mr Writer" by Stereophonics has always, for me, been a gritter song about the writing profession whilst Paperback Writer  is all about pleasing a market, Kelly Jones's tones is telling Mr Writer to tell it like it really is. The song itself is the band's response to a negative write up by a journalist.

For me, I have a mix on iTunes that I put together for the novel that I am writing. Running next to Paperback Writer; it sends a message to me about keeping my writing real especially when talking about discrimination in the book. I think for me, it about watching the pace of my writing as you can't always have your character at crisis point, there has to be calmer period in the book so the impact of the words at critic points are there. For me you have to keep it honest in the framework of your ecosystem of the characters.

"Mr Writer" is the third single from the album Just Enough Education To Perform, which was released in 2001. The song has a raw and honest lyric together with a strong melody; which makes me always reach for the volume.
