I find that the time that goes by is actually your best friend when you are making a record. The passing of time gives you perspective on what you recorded and what you wrote. If something sounds good to you 12 months after you recorded it then chances are pretty good that there's something valuable about the part or the song.
M. WardFrom a very early age, I started to get really interested in how songs were put to tape. Not just listening to the songs, but the way the songs were recorded.
M. WardThe production process has a great way of bringing songs to light and that's a big part of it.
M. WardI like using concrete imagery, but I don't feel that's what it's about. It's a combination of concrete and abstract to take the listener somewhere they know better than you. That's true for music, seeing a painting, watching a movie... it's all some kind of an escape.
