You have a feeling when you're recording, like, 'This is gonna translate really well,' and when you see it live, and it kind of proves that, that's an amazing feeling.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel, in a way, on a record, you can be more subtle. In the live setting, everything gets amplified. The dynamics are more extreme in concert.
When I emerge from filming I feel slightly out of synch with real life, but it's also a relief.
It's easy listening to a record, but a live performance is so personal and real.
I feel sometimes that I'm in a constant state of being lost in translation, and I guess that why I write songs.
When you're onstage and the audience is smiling and singing and bopping along and you're all on the same level, it's the best feeling in the world. It may sound dumb and corny to say it, but it's like pure love.
When you hear my music and you feel the emotion, it's real. When you see me in a film and you see a tear, it's real.
There is a brief moment when all there is in a man's mind and soul and spirit is reflected through his eyes, his hands, his attitude. This is the moment to record.
Little moments of excitement shape the sound of a record. You don't have anything, and then you start to have little parts that give you the energy to move forward because you start to see something.
It's always a live experience - anything that happens around you. It's so easy to just put it to a song.
The best recording is the one you bring with you in your mind.
