I think that was the whole idea behind doing the solo record was to be able to do musically whatever I wanted to do.

As funny as it sounds, the best thing I got out of making a solo record was to realize how much I love being in a band.

By the time I did that third solo album, I'd finally learned how to do it, but I'd also learned that I liked being in a band.

I do sing a bit, a solo called 'Rubies,' and the female vocals on 'In Paradisum,' 'The Sound of Silence,' and 'Sapphire Clouds'.

In my head, I consider 'No Turning Back' my 'dipping the toe in the water' album. It was mostly covers of favorite songs, and there were three originals in there. So, it feels like it was just my album to see what the temperature of the water was.

Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.

I probably listen to Burn more than any of them, because it was so new me, so novel. To see my name on an actual record was such an incredible feeling.

I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.

All my songs were solo voices. Just me singing. In fact, that was the gimmick - no gimmick. Just singing straight with not too much background.
