If You Got A Trumpet, Get On

I Write Songs In Batches And Then Record Them And Then Can't Write Again For Ages. I Try And Build One Song Upon Another, They May Not Obviously Look Inter-related But Often One Song Acts As A Springboard Into Another.

I Love Being Manipulated By What I See. I Love Weepies And Romantic Comedies Where You're Reaching For The Kleenex At The Right Moment.

There's That Kind Of Song, "whoah Baby, I Love You," Which Doesn't Have A Visual Element, But A Very Strong Emotional Element, And These Are The Great Songs To Me - Those Ones That You Put Them On And They Just Make You Feel Great, Or Whatever.

To Sustain Hatred Is A Very Difficult Thing To Do, Year After Year. It's Exhausting.

The Artistic Process Seems To Be Mythologized Quite A Lot Into Something Far Greater Than It Actually Is. It Is Just Hard Labor.
