guitar minutes people played prefer song telling three truly week work
I would prefer it if people thought that I didn't work hard, that I just played the guitar for three minutes a week and was like, 'Check out this song - what do you think?' That would be ideal. I would prefer telling people that I'm just truly talented.
song strong party
It's that feeling when you hear your favourite song. That feeling, whether you're in a car, at a party or alone at home or in bed and you hear this song and it just hits you so strong - that’s what we aim for.
slow-motion enjoy songwriting
I enjoy songwriting. It's slow-motion improvising.
song fall wake-up
Songwriting is hard - it's so easy to fall into the same traps. It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.
song simple focus
I'm not a pop song lyric writer. I can't just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.
song flow wake-up
It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.
song fun writing
When you first start writing a song, it's fun, then when you start recording it, it's fun, but by the time you've finished recording it, you're sick of it.
song special different
If you're in a bar and a certain song comes on and the vibe is just different, it evokes the kinds of things that you want to feel, and if music can do that it's a very special thing.
blowing detached far feeling good great hopefully involving last mind people row seem sizes time whatever whether
The sizes seem right. It's pretty much as big as you get without feeling detached or too far away from the people at the back of the audience. It's as big as you get while still involving the last row - isn't that what you look for in a venue? Hopefully they just have a great time. Hopefully it's just a great show. Whatever that does to different people, whether it's blowing your mind or just making you have a good time that night.
burned passing thanks
Thanks for passing the torch...I think I burned my hand, though.
thank
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the deafening roar.
burst good hopefully next sounds trying
You always want to do that. But that wasn't necessarily the strategy. But I do think you're always trying to take it to the next level. We've been working on it for months. Hopefully if it sounds like a burst of good songs, that's fine. I'll take that.
communal people
I think I used to do everything and then people had a problem with that within the band, so we're doing more of a communal thing.
care people
I don't care what people think or what they expected. It's what (critics) said, not us.
