anyone cry inside offer song sound
Like I can't cry for myself so I will let this song take all of the things inside I can't let anyone else see and offer it up, as if the sound were some kind of god, and my pain is some kind of sacrifice.
song guitar drunk
When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.
song eye faces
Sometimes I'll get to the end of a song, open my eyes and there's all these faces peering at me. It's quite horrifying.
song play world
Anyone can rehearse and play constantly any song in the world.
song real play
Each time I play a song it seems more real.
song groups ten
If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.
song stuff entertainment
I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.
song writing felt
I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
song hate fall
Irony is the recourse of the weak-minded wimp, I think. I hate bands that deliver their songs with knowing smiles on their faces, so that if those songs fall flat they can say 'Ah well, we never really meant it anyway.' It's so dishonest.
song aspects-of-life persons
I'm not a morose person; it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
song play knows
You don't really know a song until you play it live.
discovered special surface wear
I've discovered special makeup by a company called M.A.C. You could wear it on the surface of the sun and it wouldn't move.
goes
See if it goes through. If they say 'No,' go elsewhere.
pretend sent
I've got a presence on all the social networks, in fact, but I've never once sent a message. I'm there because otherwise, someone's going to pretend to be me.
