It's nice to be able to backtrack and not be embarrassed by the music you used to listen to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a music supervisor, you learn to embrace the best of every genre, and I really have to say there's nothing that I'm embarrassed of.
I can look back over my earlier music, and it takes me back to the place I was emotionally.
I'm not embarrassed by any of my music. I'll even own up to the old Backstreet Boys albums.
I think my music speaks for itself - it backs me up.
I get embarrassed listening to my last CDs. I've got a lot of work to do, let's put it that way.
I really believe it's not bad to look back within music. I don't mean retro, but using your own memories to make a song because our memories are what make us who we are.
I do go back and listen to my songs. I'm biting my fingernails the whole way through, but I do listen. I have a lot of songs I've wanted to re-record just because of how advanced technology is and the different instrument sounds that I'm more experienced with.
Like many musicians, I don't look back much... only concentrate on what music I'm doing, and occasionally look ahead.
A lot of our music came out of a lot of weird psychology and weird emotions. When you play the whole body of work, you get tossed all over the place. It's not easy listening. It's not even comfortable to listen to.
I don't read music, which is a shame, actually, and I shouldn't even speak of it because it's embarrassing, but it's true.
