Quote

The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don't set out to say anything very important.

The music is really about sharing an experience. That's why we call it Stay Human. It's like we're sharing this genuine human exchange.

A lot of our tracks have sounded a lot better than I thought they would because of recording, mixing, and because I probably didn't hear it that way. I'm not a songwriter.

We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it's timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there's going to be a real appreciation.

Maybe some people have written us off, but I think the new music today has also invigorated us.

Our music may sound big emotionally, but that's more to do with the playing, the level of musicianship and the full-on energy. Often, the lyrics are often quite small and focused.

Having a very serious thematic element in the lyrics and then juxtaposing with something really triumphant and just a big beat to dance to is a nice contrast to having a dark message.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

The lyrics came out of necessity. When we started writing the record, we started in a more fusion environment and that got boring really quick and that wasn't what we were about on an organic level.

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
