simple people albums
It was so simple in the old days. You put out an album, people promoted it, it got in the charts, and you had a hit.
thinking tree age
I think from the age of thirteen, I really wanted to be a producer and I've always thought that the producer was the top of the tree.
fun practice months
Live shows are fun - sometimes. But you have to practice for months on end.
different way music-is
Old music is the same as new music - it's just a different way of delivering it.
house gears want
I just want to be in the studio. When you've got all the gear you want in your own house, it's difficult to go out and do something else, you know?
long albums lasts
I just realized how long it was since the last album, and where did the time go? You know?
records
To me, making records isn't work.
touring
I don't actually like touring.
song littles kind
When you do a song new live on stage, it's kind of a bit weird until it gets worn in, you know, like oiled up a bit. It's still a little bit stiff until you really thrashed at it for a few weeks.
years gone
As you get older, the days have gone, and the years have gone, and it's 'whoosh!
years stills
I'm still getting thrilled with music even after 40 years of doing it professionally.
work people littles
There are a million people who can come up with little bits. The hard work is making those bits into something.
beautiful song dark
It was dark and misty for 2 weeks, and I didn't come up with a thing. Suddenly the sun shone and it was, 'Wow, look at those beautiful Alps.' I wrote 'Mr. Blue Sky' and 13 other songs in the next two weeks.
hair necks certain
The hairs stand up on the back of my neck at certain music.
