I didn't know what some of the stuff on Astral Weeks was about until years later.
A fantabulous night to make romance.
I have to accept the fact that I was putting out records that reviewers were going to get an image from.
Then it evolved into more of a ballad style singer/songwriter thing. And there was a conflict in trying to merge the two styles with the same band behind me. 'Cause the musicians that I would need to do ballad-oriented tunes would require musicians who were more into jazz.
If you live the life you love, you get the blessing from above.
I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That's what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.
