It's a unique thing to stand in front of a crowd and sing your songs.
I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it’s understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don’t have a clue what they’re on about.
The authenticity thing has never been an issue for me.
I don't even call myself a Christian.
I'm very English, and we don't talk about emotions publicly.
Every band I've come across has read more than I have.
