I've long since worn out my Squeeze LPs East Side Story is, to me, a classic. I am not one for hyperbole, but it's true just listen to any of the band's recent performances on YouTube. Difford and Tillbrook are still writing together, and the voices of both still sound fantastic. Squeeze released Spot the Difference last year and supported the release with a tour. And that first draft was the only draft: he didn't change a word from what he wrote in that back seat. But if you need proof, there's this: Difford wrote the lyrics to "Tempted" in about two and a half minutes in the back of a cab. If you know music, there is no need for me to extol their excellence. They are certainly one of the most legendary (and I will also say strongest) songwriting duos in rock history. The result has been some of the most well-crafted and memorable pop songs: "Tempted," "Cool for Cats," "Black Coffee in Bed," "Pulling Mussels from a Shell," "Is That Love," "Hourglass,". For over 35 years, they've adhered to the same routine: Difford writes the lyrics and Tilbrook writes the music. There's not much I can say in this introduction about the songwriting duo of Difford and Glenn Tilbrook that hasn't been said somewhere else. It's those feelings that form the basis for Difford's songs for him, the songwriting process is "cathartic.like keeping a diary." When Chris Difford of Squeeze sits down to write a song, there's actually two Chris Diffords in the room: the one at the desk penning the lyrics, and the one on the couch in the corner telling the one at the desk how he feels.
