It's better for the listener to interpret their own meanings to the music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love to leave the interpretation of my music up to the listener. It's fun to see what they'll say it is.
And I like to interpret music. So I think it's all interpretive.
People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.
I think in some ways, it can do a listener a disservice to explain a song. I think I'd rather leave a little room for people to put themselves in it.
I think that in order for music to be heard in a lot of different situations you have to always consider that.
Music and language are a vital element. We, as actors and directors, offer it to people who want to experience it. Sometimes the actual meaning is less important than the words themselves.
I don't actually like explaining the meanings of my songs, because I think people can take away more from it if they use their imagination.
Sometimes it's nice to have a song that can be taken more then one way, so it can be interpreted differently.
I always prefer other people's interpretations over my own, so I'm not very quick to make explicit what exactly a song or record is about.
I'd rather let the music speak for itself.
