With songs I almost see the images, see the action, and then all I have to do is describe it. It's almost like watching a scene from a film, and that's what I go about trying to catch in a song.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You're just playing, playing, playing, and then an image or something will come into your mind, and basically you're just narrating it with music, letting it move along.
I listen to music cinematically. I think about music and how it would make me feel when it's put to an image, a moving image, and I love it.
When I make music, it's a very visual thing. Conjures up a lot of images.
When I'm writing songs, I write visually. When I'm writing the words down and I listen to the melody and the lyrics, I start seeing the video form. And if I can get through a song and from the beginning to the end have the whole video in my mind, I think that's a great song.
I try to make songs visual and tactile to kind of put you into the action.
You can do a lot to shape the feeling of a song by the way you record it.
Sometimes, when you're on the streets, certain music inspires you, and then you have a vision. But, at the end of the day, it's a synthesis of visions, so you have to think, as a director, of a scene, or how to deliver a line, or how do this visually.
Music is such an odd thing when you think about it - behind an image until you take it away, and then you realize a movie sounds blank without it.
I feel like I can see the music and can see how the character of the music actually flows. For me, that's music to my eyes.
There's definitely a visual aspect and an emotional aspect to a song. And that harks back, for me, to theater.
