Here's the thing with lyrics: Words are just another musical instrument.

There was a time when beheadings were in the public mind because people around the world were getting their heads cut off for various reasons.

I don't think of my music as something that works well in the background. And because a lot of it isn't in 4/4, people might not like to dance to it.

I hope nobody I wrote about becomes too upset.

Here's the thing with lyrics: Words are just another musical instrument.

I got really paranoid, burning every song onto three CDs and hiding them in various places around the house just in case I got burgled and there was, y'know, a fire in my bedroom. I told friends where I was hiding them in case I was killed.

The internet becomes too arch. The clip is uploaded and reuploaded endlessly with banner headlines and crappy 3-D graphics. Stuff rots in this supposedly clinical space.
