Sometimes there's a general arc that you want to try and get better the longer you do something.
Colin HayI used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.
Colin HayI suppose ever since I was about 14, I remember listening to "Sgt. Pepper's," and I remember thinking, "how do you possibly write songs like that?" I remember starting to try and write songs around that age, but just sitting around with an acoustic guitar, and try to come up with ideas for songs, and that's just what I've done ever since. I just never really stopped doing that, I suppose.
