I try not to put messages in my songs. My only message is man's communication with his fellow man. I want to narrow the gap of strangeness and alienation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.
I don't have any message in the music. Music will be fine as long as you take care of yourself.
Anxiety and spiritual searching have been consistent themes with me, and that figures into my worldview. But I tend to make my songs sound like relationship songs.
Certain social situations make me feel like a square peg in a round hole. Realising you can connect to the human race through song makes me feel less alien.
I'm not sure I'm trying to communicate a message. I'm just trying to be part of the movement away from the unacceptable present.
I don't know what makes a guy want to write songs and sing, but if you've got a message, you want to get it across. When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.
People have entire relationships via text message now, but I am not partial to texting. I need context, nuance and the warmth and tone that can only come from a human voice.
We have to make sure the music and the message and the words and all the elements come through in our songs and every time we appear in public.
We never notate our music, so you can try to replicate it, but you don't really have it.
If you want people to know what your message is, just sing it.
