voice identity trying
I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.
interesting trying want
If a psychiatrist would analyze [the lyrics], I'm sure they'd come up with something interesting. I really don't try to twist them. I don't want to slash things.
song gun trying
It's always about trying to make everything go with the music, like a script. It's not like, 'Let's have a confetti gun!' If I ever have one of those, it will be because it's absolutely the right thing at the moment in the song. I can't just go get a confetti gun.
art thinking people
People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.
play sound unruly
Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.
stupid believe mean
I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.
thinking sometimes mask
I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.
struggle sound brilliant
It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.
perspective identity world
When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.
crazy thinking quality
I think the Yamaha has a giant quality. When you combine the Yamaha with other organs, you get this crazy rectangular sound. It's kind of flat and thick.
makeup piano said
There's something to be said for being classically trained on piano, but not having your whole makeup be tied to one instrument.
thinking sweat hot
But I love the hot sweat. I think overheating onstage is invigorating. It's better than being comfortable. I think being comfortable is the death of a show.
depressing forever lasts
As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.
powerful crazy thinking
I don't think my vocals demand effects. I like reverb to a certain extent, but I don't want to hide my voice. I like stripped-down vocals, but I also like crazy, powerful, doubled vocals like in dance or electronic music.
