Lyricists I Admire

6 Music's Artist In Residence is a journey into the musical soul of an artist, based around a theme or mood.

For the sixth instalment of her Artist In Residence series, Romy shares the songs from her past and present that truly mean the most to her. These are the songs that stop her in her tracks, with lyrics that gave her the inspiration and confidence to start writing her own music. Romy sheds some light on her own songwriting process and picks out her favourite lyrics in a stirring playlist of classic cuts from Joan Armatrading and Nick Drake alongside contemporary singer-songwriters like Arlo Parks and serpentwithfeet.
