Every song has a story behind it. Maybe the way it was created, what it is about, who it is about, where it was written...there are literally a million reasons and ways a song was born.

But have you ever wondered how musicians came up with some of their best known songs? 
How did Nirvana arrive at Smells Like Teen Spirit? What was Blur doing when they came up with Song 2? Why was it so complicated to finish Fairytale of New York?

Well wonder no more...we have answers to those and a whole lot more as we once again look at the stories behind songs.
