art thinking people
I think comedy and music are both things that we need as human beings. I think that both art forms can touch people.
play numbers language
Numbers are really fascinating things, and they do play a big part in our lives. They are a language of their own.
song nice compliment
Maybe if my songs feel personal, that's very nice. I like that. I take that as a great compliment.
brother thinking two
I think I was just lucky to be brought up in a very musical family. My two older brothers were, and still are, very musical and very creative, and music was a big part of my life from a very young age, so it is quite natural for me to become involved in music in the way that I did.
thinking interesting matter
I think what is great is that if anything that I do is interesting to somebody else, then I really don't think it matters at all what I had originally intended.
character ideas people
I just try to put myself in the sense of being a character, sometimes male. I suppose I just like the idea of trying to be different people coming from all kinds of different angles. Most of it was just from my imagination.
jobs tools good-job
Mozart didn't have Pro Tools, but he did a pretty good job.
old-and-new fantastic combination
My studio is a fantastic combination of old and new, and that's how I've always liked to work.
song writing night
When I was first writing, I used to sit at the piano and play songs - I'd write one or two a night. It was my hobby. At some point, it then became a process that was mainly done within the context of the studio, and writing became part of the recording process.
stuff albums watches
I spend a lot of time working and with my family, so I don't have much time around the edges to do much else. I don't really listen to a great deal of music. I love music, but since I spend a lot of time in the studio, we probably watch a movie rather than listen to albums. I get to hear stuff, but not on the grand scale.
awful vocal ifs
The original vocals had an awful lot of work put into them at the time, and I wasn't really sure that I could better them - I don't know if I have bettered them.
song lonely morning
When I'm writing I've been playing something for a couple of hours and I'm almost in a trance. At two or three in the morning you can actually see bits of inspiration floating about and grab them...I think probably the only thing that is around in these songs is that I was really lonely when I wrote a lot of them. But it was really by my own choosing because I was devoting myself to songwriting and dancing and I wasn't really going out and seeing people.
reality weirdness
We let the weirdness in.
fun believe thinking
If you believe in what you do and you really want to be in music, just stick at it. It's always a learning process. Enjoy it because I think making music is a privilege, really. In an ideal world, it should also always be fun. As much as possible, make it fun.
