careers envy trying
I don't envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways.
labels benefits feels
At a major label you can start to feel that you're working for them, and that any work you do, you're never going to see any benefit.
brain want needs
All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.
selling-more records labels
I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.
couple past years
One of the things I've really gotten past in the last couple of years is the idea of being made uncomfortable by the way things appear, rather than how things are. Clearly in this business you have to contend with a lot of that.
play limits needs
You know what, the drummer is my manager. He's busy. And I'm busy. I don't need the dough, though. But having said that, there's a limit to how much bad music I wanna play. I did it when I was young, and some of the music was OK, but it wasn't great.
standards lows process
If your standards are low, you're going to stop pretty early on in the process.
air return wreckage
Nightly you retrace your steps again to return to the scene of the crime. It's uncanny how you hover in the air of the wreckage that you left behind.
feelings drug brain
Everybody kind of understands, Oh yeah you take drugs and it does something to your brain and then you can't stop. It's easier to describe that shame, that horrible feeling of not being able to control your own life.
dream waking easy
It's not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow.
song writing piano
I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.
real flames games
The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame. He might get burned, but he's in the game. And once he's in, he can't go back, he'll Beat his wings 'til he burns them black... No, The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame. . . The Moth don't care if The Flame is real, 'Cause Flame and Moth got a sweetheart deal. And nothing fuels a good flirtation, Like Need and Anger and Desperation... No, The Moth don't care if The Flame is real. . .
boxing trainers gym
I'm really into boxing. I go to a gym and I'm friends with a trainer who's a pretty famous boxing trainer and I train with him.
music guy sitting
There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.
