I can sing very comfortably from my vantage point because a lot of the music was about a loss of innocence, there`s innocence contained in you but there`s also innocence in the process of being lost.
I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.
But then I go through long periods where I don`t listen to things, usually when I`m working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find.
