I Don't Write Happy Songs. Who Does?

Musicians Are At The Bottom Of The Creative Pyramid And Authors Are At The Top, And Many People Think It's Unacceptable For Someone To Attempt To Jump From The Bottom To The Top Of The Pyramid.

Sound Doesn't Always Have To Be Heard. Sound Can Also Be Created By How A Pattern Is Set Up On A Surface- How It Moves Across The Surface, How Light Reflects The Surface [and] Can Generate A Feeling. Sound Can Also Be Through Feeling, Through Color, Through Texture.

When I Start Writing Songs, And They Come Easily, I'm Always Very Suspicious. That Usually Means They're Reminding Me Of Something I've Already Done Before. When The Songs Become Unsettling, And I Feel Anxious About What I'm Doing, That Usually Means It's Going To Be More Interesting Later On When We Actually Record The Stuff.

I Don't Particularly Believe All Love Is Doomed. But I Guess, One Is Usually Kinda Suffering From Some Aborted Love Affair Or Association, Rather Than Being At The Peak Of One. I Think It's Fairly Obvious That A Lot More Suffering Goes On In The Name Of Love Than The Little Happiness You Can Squeeze Out Of It.
