I've always loved groups like U2 and Coldplay.
People take songs so literally.
I've never written a song that I thought was a hit.
So it was just a case of getting a bunch of songs that I had been writing for years but hadn't recorded together, and the result was My Own Best Enemy.
I didn't want my last chapter to be the guy who sits at the piano and sings love songs.
I have complete freedom, and there's no way to get pigeonholed or bored. What could be better than that?
