For me, the voice expresses things that there are just no other ways to express.

I'm pretty resigned to the fact that I never hear music the way anyone else does, and I no longer find it surprising.

When I dream about music, or think about music, by myself, I try to be as free as possible and allow my creative mind full reign.

When I joined the band I was coming largely from an improvising background, and the idea of a fluid rhythm that was really coherent attracted me.

For me, the voice expresses things that there are just no other ways to express.

I can talk about feelings, but I can't talk about why this chord on top of this chord sounds cool to me. It just makes me feel a certain way, and I like it.

That's just the way people's brains work. If you want to talk about something, you have to reduce it to a form that can be understood. That's one of the reasons I'm not good about boiling down music.
