I've never forgotten a single record I cut or a song I wrote.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been writing songs since I was, like, five and I've been singing since, like, I can't remember.
It was always important to me that I made a record where I really sang well, and I don't think it's happened yet. There's always a possibility with each album that I might not record again, and I wanted to produce one that I could feel was mine.
'Unknown Pleasures' is a very important record for me. It was the first LP that I recorded.
I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.
I can't remember writing any of the songs that I've written.
Every record we do, we do one song we didn't write.
The first record I made when I was 17. Labels merged and plans didn't work out, but plans never work out as planned. But I never stopped making music. I never had a backup plan. I never thought, 'Maybe I should just write, or maybe I should...' I just kept going.
It took a long while for me to even put out a record because there were so many options of how to do a song, and in some respects, I'm never totally happy with the outcome.
I always try to write a song, I never just want to write a record.
I must be careful not to get trapped in the past. That's why I tend to forget my songs.
