I wanted to put a sheet in explaining what all the songs are about, but they didn't do it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Normally, I don't like explaining songs. I don't want to kill anyone's interpretation or the story they want to make for themselves.
Everyone is looking for connections between the songs. I don't usually approach a record as a concept. There's no overriding theme I'm trying to represent. It's all about the individual songs.
We wanted to sit down and conceptually work out songs.
Sometimes a song indicates that it wants to be about a certain thing. And then if you write it, you find that it is about something that you've done.
People shout out for songs and I don't even remember writing them.
Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs; taking them in different directions.
Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.
It's all about theme and development anyway. That's what music is about.
I wanted to write songs that were as good as the covers.
I don't really like to explain my songs.
