Excerpt from a YouTube interview (Mick Unplugged) in which Patrick Leonard recounts his creative collaboration with Leonard Cohen: Cohen would send lyrics (often just a title or lyric via email), Leonard would immediately compose and record musical ideas—often within about 15 minutes—and send them back for quick feedback (yes/no or style suggestions like "more bluesy" or "more country"). Leonard contrasts this lyric-first workflow with the different processes he used when writing with other artists such as Madonna.

Chapters

I think it was Leonard that really informed me of the power of starting with a lyric. Because my relationship with Leonard was. My email would ding, and it would just have a title, and I'd open it up and print it out, and it would be a lyric from Leonard, and I'd write something right on the spot and sing it and send it back to him, usually within 15 minutes. And he'd go, yes or no. Try something more bluesy or more country. And that was how it went. So responding to a lyric is very different than the. The songs I wrote, say, with Madonna or other artists I work with.
