trying
Pagers are my life--I try to get them in to our music as much as possible.
player guitar years
And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.
alive
The Will to Death is what keeps me alive
dream months firsts
All I know is that the six months when I recorded this music was the most productive time of my life, and I'll always remember it as the first time in my life that I ever felt like I was one with my dreams.
thinking world natural
I think an analogue synth is an extension of the natural world.
song writing kind
I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.
song feels
I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.
song character singing
I just like to switch things up all the time. Like when it comes to singing, I try to find a different character for each song.
priorities kind sometimes
The drive to create music that is pure is my highest priority. Sometimes I'll get extremely technical, and other times I'll just kind of go with the gods of music.
talking people frustrating
But I have been avoiding talking about what I'm doing now because it's frustrating for people to hear about things that aren't available yet.
believe men lines
I'm dreading the time that is not near As a man on a cross I have no fear I can't believe these words I'm saying You've got to feel your lines
song crazy moving
I think a solo moves forward the way a song does, because it's reflective of the chords that I'm considering as I'm soloing, and at the same time I'm going as much out on a limb as Frank Zappa used to, in terms of just going crazy on the instrument.
taken thinking people
But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.
thinking spirit granted
So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.
