joy simplicity littles
And of course, pop music is all about memorability and simplicity and positive messages and a little dash of joy.
broken people healthy
Music is pretty intimate stuff and I can only work with very few people: Gonzalez being one, Mocky being another and, on a completely different level, Broken Social Scene. With Broken Social Scene its not one-on-one, its a one-on-12. Its very healthy, very comfortable, like a big pot luck supper among old friends.
mind trying littles
Gatekeeper was sort of my first attempt to put a little bit of a frame and boundaries around songwriting, and try to figure out a way to approach it that had a sort of end result in mind. I havent written many like that.
wine doctors people
If you calculate every single thing you could possibly need in your life, you would need no more than 200 people to keep all that afloat: a doctor, food, wine, cheese-eating friends, the person who makes paper, the shoemaker...
interesting landscape aliens
Surreal can be exciting and good, and it can be like living inside an alien landscape, and it can be completely interesting, or you can be alienated from your own life - inside your own life, it doesnt feel familiar any more.
real sea people
The group-effort sound in recording of Sea Lion is like, you really hear all the people in the room and hear them interlocking. Theres a real freight-train energy of all these people at the same time playing.
dream years may
It may be years until the day My dreams will match up with my pay.
beautiful crazy years
I find it pretty fascinating how humans keep gravitating towards these giant centers. I went to this walled medieval village in France this year, and it was truly the most crazy, beautiful, bizarre place I've ever been.
london dickens charmed
I didn't really get London until I read Dickens. Then I was charmed to death by it.
fun crazy stupid
So, I'm on 'Sesame Street,' walking around with all these monsters, Elmo and his buddies, a whole bunch of chickens, a whole bunch of penguins and a number four dancing about. It was just pure joy, simple, ridiculous fun, stupid joy. There's no irony. 'Sesame Street' is just a crazy great place to be.
real fighting metal-fans
There's real potency in metal. Metal fans love metal as if it's a nation they would fight for. It's not diluted by pop culture.
accomplish doctors goal main
That's up to him and the doctors. The main thing is we got him to accomplish his goal and that is to place at state.
guys inspirational neat start wheelchair
One of the things that is real neat to see is the start of the wheelchair race. That is really inspirational to see those guys out there.
excited finally parts record songs tour
Let It Die' is more piano-based, organ-based and percussion-based. Live, the songs are more guitar-based. The record that we're doing right now is really guitar-based. I feel like finally I get to write some parts that I'll be excited to play on tour for this record.
