I interviewed Lawrence Gowan of Styx. We discussed:
- Their new album, Circling From Above.
- When the listener is nervous to hear the new album because they loved the last album.
- The challenge of giving yourself only three days to write and record a song.
- The melody idea that would not leave him alone.
- Their continuing embrace of song vignettes.
- When the final version of a song is even better than the initial idea.
- Creating conflict and resolution within the span of one song.
