Watch The Dead Weather’s Alison Mosshart Discuss Lyric Writing

The Dead Weather recently released their third album titled Dodge & Burn, and whilst the band have remained adamant they would not be touring for the record, they have instead been treating fans to personalised videos to provide a little more insight into the supergroup.

Last month, the band released a video of Jack White discussing his drumming technique, and now we have a video of singer Alison Mosshart and a discussion on her lyricism. Each video also includes a performance by the band, and whilst White’s featured an alternate version of Hang You Up From The Heavens (from 2009’s Horehound album), this latest video shows the band performing Lose The Right taken from their latest release.

“I have so many ideas when I’m driving so I drive a lot and I have a little notebook somewhere. Writing and driving on the highway is one of the most dangerous things you could do,” Mosshart says candidly in the video. “It’s similar to texting and driving but harder because you have to hold the paper down on the steering wheel and write and what happens if the pen doesn’t work so you’re digging around in the backseat and you’re freaking out because you don’t want to forget something that you’ve just thought of.” The video then goes on to see Mosshart casually discuss how she works and why she does what she does. It’s intimate and provides an insight into a softer side that might not necessarily be too obvious given the growls and screams she is capable of when she sings.

Check the clip below and get yourself ready for the electrifying performance after Mosshart’s few minutes of solo camera time. Absolutely stupefying.
