The sound is very much always in my head, I have to get the sound out of my head onto the recording.
Tom OdellI don't really like over-explaining the songs. Everyone constantly asks what the songs are about, and I think the thing is that the songs definitely all have stories in them; it's just nice to let people decide what they are. I think it's important that people hear it themselves rather than having me annotate it.
Tom OdellI would consider myself a perfectionist, yeah. I don't think that is always that helpful, either. Sometimes it's good to be a little more open-minded; you can overthink things when things are actually fine, and it's that moment that you lose it. Looking back, sometimes I've made mistakes from being a perfectionist.
Tom OdellI have always liked clothes and fashion. And really, being a British male, I am automatically the best dressed person in any room - especially in America.
