joy feelings battle
I'm completely in love with the world but also terrified of it. It creates some overwhelming feelings. Wanting to battle out that joy and fear is part of my music.
feelings london eras
I am obsessed with the whole Victoriana thing, the whole Jack the Ripper London era, the grayness of it, the haunted feeling of it, all ancient and bloody.
thinking feelings emotion
There's such an extreme feeling to be in love, especially in quite an emotionally destructive relationship, where you're both kind of really bad for each other, but you love each other so much. Those extreme emotions, I think, can only be described with extreme imagery.
mean thinking feelings
I can't ever seem to shake the feeling that when things are really good it essentially means that things are going to go really bad. When I feel calm and settled, there is always an underlying feeling of impending doom... I don't think that it's healthy.
feelings tools use
I tend to lose myself in the moment. I’m not very good at holding back. I don’t know how to do this without feeling everything. My emotions are the tool I use to perform.
gaga love music perry pop rap
I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.
groups crowds forget
You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing.
thinking eyebrows singing
When you're dressed up as David Bowie, with your eyebrows completely bleached, and you're doing this kind of strange dance with Paul McCartney while singing "Rebel Rebel" in the middle of the Met ball, and Madonna's looking at you . . . I was just thinking, It's become a bit weird.
soul listening age
The only music I was listening to for ages was old soul. So I wasn't listening to a lot of new music - especially indie music.
drama thinking wanting-more
I think I just have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz.
mother thinking brain
I think "waste of your brain" is something that my mother would say to me occasionally - I think it's usually when I'm telling her something like that I can remember every outfit I've ever worn.
order airports dancing
Everything has such order and everyone is so focused on doing what they're doing that no one ever pays attention to you spinning and dancing around supermarkets. It's something you find in places like supermarkets and airports, where everything is really ordered. There's something about those places that makes you feel really anonymous.
thinking band sound
I've been thinking about songwriting more in terms of playing it live, and how it will sound as a band.
song thinking singing
I think I just get excited by music, and, like, singing is a very physical thing. It releases endorphins in your body. You're using almost muscle in there, and I think that adrenaline really helps to kind of make the songs fresh every time.
