The place that I'm trying to come from and where I'm trying to make music from is when I feel like I'm able to somehow, like, transcend it all and just speak right to God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I thought music could take you to a place where you didn't even feel ownership of it, you just felt lucky you were there. It's like church without God, or something. It's about feeling, hope and catharsis and things that are nurturing.
I get into a zone where I'm really in my own world when I make music.
I guess in a way I just feel blessed to be able to make music.
I feel like before I came to the planet I asked God for the gift of music. I didn't want to come here without the gift of music and God granted it to me.
The closest place that I feel like I come to having religious moments is always musical.
As long as I'm blessed and/or cursed to be alive, it's hard to see a time when I won't be making music.
I have no idea where I want to go musically, but I'm fine that way. I don't need to be faithful to any concept, you know.
To combat the confusion and depression that assault me when I come off the road in the middle of a tour, I seek the most oblivionated music possible. When it's the 'way out there' that I seek, I go right to my stash of amazing music from Japan.
The direction for my music is heaven, of course. We gear all things to the realm of heaven - which is the mind, the organized mind.
I don't have any real spirituality in my life - I'm kind of an atheist - but when music can take me to the highest heights, it's almost like a spiritual feeling. It fills that void for me.
