And it really is a good feeling to get up there and make that sound. I'm not stuck in a time warp, because I can use as many of the old songs as I want to, just the favorites.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And when I've been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.
I don't think the music that I do is nostalgic in any way; I don't think about going back to nice, old-fashioned music. I'm certainly influenced by old music, but I want to bring it slap-bang up to today.
I've found that music allows years to fold like an accordion over each other, so I guess you don't feel the passage of time as much.
I really love the '90s. I love the music from then for sure, and to go back to New York then would be a really wonderful thing.
Songs really are like a form of time travel because they really have moved forward in a bubble. Everyone who's connected with it, the studio's gone, the musicians are gone, and the only thing that's left is this recording which was only about a three-minute period maybe 70 years ago.
I really feel every word to every song a lot more than I have in the past.
I think, for one thing, all of us remember those teenage years and those songs that we fell in love with and the music scene that we were part of. So, in a certain way, music cuts through time like almost nothing else. You know, it makes us feel like we're back in an earlier moment.
I guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.
I like the old '90s music.
If you're only a fan of the old music, that music's gonna wind up sounding even older.
