Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing that will never go away is that connection you make with a band or a song where you're moved by the fact that it's real people making music. You make that human connection with a song like 'Let It Be' or 'Long and Winding Road' or a song like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' or 'Roxanne,' any of those songs. They sound like people making music.
I see my music as Emotional Therapeutic Pop music that bleeds into loads of different genres.
Every artist has a moment where they think about quitting music for a moment because it's scary.
I always seem to feel that everything is about to cave in on me. I think that maybe music is my protection from that and in some senses it's an outlet to turn it into something euphoric: embracing the eventual decline.
Our lives are full of all the genres. Fear and hope and sadness.
Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.
It kills me when I see some metal band trying to pass themselves off as an 'alternative band.'
Music is my way of getting away from everything. It means a lot to me.
I feel like the rap metal at the end of the 1990s destroyed rock music for everybody and suddenly everybody felt like they had to apologise for being in rock bands. People suddenly felt bad about wanting to reach massive audiences and the sense of theatre, that we have in our live show, became something to avoid.
Music is like a huge release of tension.
