Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
way exorcism demon
The music is so euphoric,as a way of battling the words. It’s like an exorcism, beating it out with drums, shake this demon out, it’s so visceral because the melancholy has to be drummed out. I can’t let it sit inside me.
song expression way
During the songs, you transcend yourself. The best way to be in the performance is to be without pause and be essentially in the moment, in that moment of expression.
veils way irony
I've learned not to hide behind a veil of irony - to talk about my work in a more honest way.
way intense feels
I feel things in quite an intense way. I'm not actually the most intense person.

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.
