You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.

I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.

The music I really like to get off on is the old rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll stuff... that's what I really dig. And I also dig to sing ballads as well. And I also dig writing my own songs. I was just trying to find a way of integrating the whole thing, taking a look at the total picture.

Some thoughts went through my head about recording some stuff that had influenced me earlier in my career like blues and early rock. But it didn't seem to really make sense at that point - it might have been taken the wrong way. A lot of people already had been into that trip.

You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.

At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.
