I Don't Like The Idea Of Being

The Songs Are Not Meant To Be Real Life. They're Meant To Have A Psychic - Rather Than A Factual - Bearing On The Listener. It's Rare That A Song Grounded In Reality Moves Me Because I Don't Feel Like I'm Getting The Whole Story. Songs Are Made To Exist In And Of Themselves, Like A Great James Jones Or Robert Louis Stevenson Novel - They're Not Autobiographical, And Yet There's A Reality In Every Single Page. It's Real Life Of The Imagination.

The Ideal Is To Put On Shows Where, If You Go Into The Same Space Again, You Don't Remember Ever Having Been There Before, Because Where You Were Was A Space That Only Existed That One Time, Created By The Music.

We Always Keep Things Very, Very Simple. We Can Make A Respectable Living Playing A Smaller Room That Somebody Else Couldn't, Because They're Spending A Lot Of Money. If We Can't Get A Show Up And Deliver With What We Almost Intrinsically Have In Our Brains And Our Pockets, Then I Don't Really Want To Do It.

For A Long Time I've Walked Through This World With The Desire, Like In Rear Window, To Look Into Other People's Lives Because I Know That There Is A Way In Which I Am The Same As So Many Of The Strangers That I See.

I Feel Much More Physically Connected To My Voice, And I Like The Physicality Of The Voice, And How The Voice Can Physically Occupy A Song.
