I have my moments - usually twice every album - when I basically lose it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Moment is an album that contains the best music I have ever produced.
My best moments are when I write songs out of nowhere.
I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.
When I want to check out how my life's been, I go through my albums. They steps in my life.
I put out one album one week, and I'm already worried about the next one. I feel a lot of emotion throughout the course of a day. But not to the point where you need to be worried about me.
I get so fed up with the making of an album taking over my life - it's all I can think about or talk about. You find yourself in a rut and lacking inspiration and it's hard to get out of that because I'm working alone in the studio.
When I record an album I'm trying to get as close as possible to that perfect moment.
Songs go through cycles for me. And sometimes I lose my passion for some of them.
One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.
My main objective with every album is to capture a moment in time, which usually makes the whole process very relaxing. I only discover in retrospect when looking back at the songs how my life is going!
