heartbroken selfish creativity
Being heartbroken is like having this really horrible freedom. You can be selfish with your thoughts, which can lead to manic creativity, but at the same time you're just really miserable.
heart iron rivers
I was a heavy heart to carry My beloved was weighed down My arms around his neck My fingers laced to crown. I was a heavy heart to carry My feet dragged across ground And he took me to the river Where he slowly let me drown My love has concrete feet My love's an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall
heart thinking hands
Where's my heart at? Aw. Um, in my chest. I think it's in there - on the right hand side. Sometimes it's in my mouth and sometimes I can feel it in my stomach, when I get really nervous. So it's pretty physical.
heartbroken creativity thinking
When you're heartbroken, you're at your most creative - you have to channel all your energies into something else to not think about it. Contentment is a creativity killer, but don't worry - I'm very capable of making myself discontented.
mistake heart ifs
If you do something with your whole heart and it's a mistake, you can live with that.
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.
