Lyrics are back, maybe. It seems like there was a bit of an attitude that lyrics are not important.

Basically, no one else gives me any opinions on lyrics. I don't ask for them. If they did, I would listen.

There's always a chance, a goal to make something different and get it right, finally.

I'm more into describing a scenario and I move around in that scenario.

I'm sort of socially inept, so music is my way to connect to people. It's a means of socializing and having a life. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. I would just make home recordings and play them for myself. And that's not really healthy.

I really do think everybody can sing.

Like the song "Stereo", to me that's like, kind of hip-hop in that slacker way. There's some slackerisms mixed in with that stuff, but it wasn't really conscious, I guess. When things would get more typical rock'n'roll that was my fallback to go to those kind of lyrics instead of the alternatives.
