I'm no good with chords. I'm horrible with chords.

I thrive on change. That's probably why my chord changes are weird, because chords depict emotions. They'll be going along on one key and I'll drop off a cliff, and suddenly they will go into a whole other key signature. That will drive some people crazy, but that's how my life is.

I trust if your life is right, the right things will happen at the right time. If the chords are in harmony inside, I think other things will happen in the same way. That sounded highfalutin' to me once, but I believe it now.

But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that's where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives.

Ever since I released my first album, I've tried not to use minor chords as the main element in songs. The way I sing is too melancholic.

It's really weird to be playing chords again. Haven't played chords for a long time. I realised I haven't played chord changes since OK Computer and stuff like that.

Those three chords were part of my life - G, F, Bb - yeh, it is, it is, and I can't help noticing it. But there have been other things nearly as close to it which people haven't noticed, other things we have done.

Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.

I learned to embrace my individuality, and if that meant writing a song on one chord over and over again, then that's what I do.

I try to find nice chord changes, that's how I love to start, and then I start trying to knock it into a song, knock it into shape.
