Björn talked briefly about being a songwriter The context of this interview: "Amid the boom in music streaming, John Wilson investigates the value of the songs that provide the soundtracks to our lives. COVID lockdowns have seen a huge surge in streaming, with 155 million premium subscribers to Spotify alone, a 25% increase on the previous year. Record companies have enjoyed huge profits. But with musicians unable to play live for over a year, the iniquities of the streaming royalties system have been exposed. The people who actually create the music have realised they are getting a raw deal. Meanwhile, seasoned songwriters are queuing up to sell the publishing rights to their lyrics and compositions for huge sums. Universal recently paid a reported $300m for Bob Dylan’s songwriting catalogue".
