My music and lyrics became an extension of this Indian philosophy.
We lived on a farm in the English countryside, where we wrote a lot of our music. You really were treated like an artist during those days-not like product, which is now the mode.
The Internet is both great and terrible. As a source of information, a tool for delivering music and art, it's great. But spamming ads and piracy of music is terrible. It's stealing.
Fly me high through the starry skies or maybe to an astral plane, cross the highways of fantasy, help me to forget today's pain.
Music's staying power is a function of how timeless the lyrics, song and production are.
The city's really changed and they don't get that. They're living in the past and they're trying to drag us back with them. Voters said that already. They'll say that again this fall.
The idea to do the album only on keyboards kind of happened by accident. I was quite happy with the sound and felt it really didn't need more instruments, so I didn't use them.
I'm in the process of releasing my CD Human Love to the mainstream public. Up till now its mainly been available on line on my web site.
