However, there`s no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.
Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I`m referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.
Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I`ve seen on some of the songs that I`ve written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in.
But I`ve got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album`s worth of work as his legacy. That`s all that life allowed him.
