I still love with all my heart anything that I have ever loved in my life.
So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.
I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I’m involved in.
I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.
And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I’m doing a clearer representation of the thing that I’ve been feeling inside me since I was four years old.
I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there’s been points in my life when they weren’t around, and it’s a real sort of miserable existence.
I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn’t I’d be doing some other kind of music that didn’t require a song.
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
Pagers are my life – I try to get them in to our music as much as possible.
I think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the internal process of their soul and their mind that’s taking place while they’re writing music.
The curtains were made for moving Cause you know sometimes you’re not always there.
Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it’s soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.
You don’t throw your life away Going Inside You get to know who’s watching you And besides you resides in your body.
My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.
For me it’s important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things, to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time.
The drive to create music that is pure is my highest priority. Sometimes I’ll get extremely technical, and other times I’ll just kind of go with the gods of music.
I’m dreading the time that is not near As a man on a cross I have no fear I can’t believe these words I’m saying You’ve got to feel your lines.
I just like to switch things up all the time. Like when it comes to singing, I try to find a different character for each song.
But I have been avoiding talking about what I’m doing now because it’s frustrating for people to hear about things that aren’t available yet.
All I know is that the six months when I recorded this music was the most productive time of my life, and I’ll always remember it as the first time in my life that I ever felt like I was one with my dreams.
The Will to Death is what keeps me alive.
