song want way
Sometimes you sing songs about the way you want to feel more than the way you actually do feel.
song pain water
Just having the pain of being alive without anything else, whether it's good or bad. There's a lot of serious songs on the record, you know. That song is just about feeling like a fish out of water, feeling like you don't belong on the planet sometimes.
song real moving
You can lose people without them dying, and I have, from moving, from traveling. The emotion is real, it just doesn't actually have to do with death. I'm singing about what I know, and it's a song about longing for somebody who's disappeared in your life.
song thinking feelings
I've never really had anybody close to me die. I think the song is about a feeling that I have that, it still applies. It's a feeling of longing, once again.
song thinking mind
So I think it was a good thing It was a little surreal watching Leo scream 'I'm not going to die today!' with our music playing - that was the last thing on my mind when I wrote the song.
american-musician
I wanted to do that again but, when I went to look for chants, I didn't want to do it in the exact same way.
american-musician dwelling escape music negativity starts
Sometimes music is an escape from things, from the way you feel. It's cathartic. Dwelling in the negativity all the time, it starts to not be real.
american-musician band biggest last seem seems starting
It doesn't really seem any different anywhere. I'd say it seems like we're biggest in Australia. It's just that we've always been this underground band and for some reason in the last month has been starting to go overground.
american-musician connecting definitely music reactions seems
It definitely seems like we are connecting with people, which is nice, because I've had a lot of music do the same for me. It's not like I don't I understand why we get the reactions we do.
american-musician coming confusing exact felt people
I think it would be very scary and very confusing if I didn't understand where people are coming from, but I've felt the exact same way for so many other bands, growing up. It's not really a big deal.
almost american-musician changed few hard last months
I think I've changed so much it's almost hard to say what has happened. I think in the last few months I've been going through the most changes.
american-musician bring decided rest
I thought I wanted to give it a rest on this record, or bring it back in a different way, and I consciously decided to take a rest on the samples.
american-musician minded open past studied
I'm still open minded but I haven't really studied too much in the past two years. That hasn't been really where my mind has been.
american-musician breeds longing saying
'Free' is more of that 'familiarity breeds contempt' kind of thing. It's about saying 'Wait, I'm longing for something more than I have and I don't know what it is that I want, but I know I want it.' It has nothing to do with what I'm going through, personally.
