world going-through-changes stills
Everybody's going through changes. No one knows what's going on. Everybody changes places, but the world still carries on.
song sometimes crosses
I quite like childlike songs, which sometimes cross over.
anarchic animals commercial concept flattened particular spirit themselves
As I say, the Animals had a particular concept of themselves as a band. There was an anarchic spirit in it, which was being flattened by commercial designs, attitudes, and needs.
majority name
There is nothing wrong with the name White Settlement, and the majority here is proud of the name.
success congratulations father
The one phrase you can use is that success has a thousand fathers, and failure is an orphan.
artist missionary-zeal mass
We had a missionary zeal about blues music, and I felt, particularly, that Mickie Most was attempting to homogenize, sweeten, and make it accessible for the mass market. Which is understandable if you're the producer, but aggravating if you're the artist.
emotional fantasy fantastic
Classical music's ability to translate emotional themes is fantastic.

The only time it dominates is during a solo, or when we play a low blues and I put figures in behind Eric's vocals. There's never any real problem fitting guitar and organ together.
guitar phrases use
I use a lot more chords than most organists and I'm careful to phrase them with the guitar.
demo felt marking music score script sent
When the script was written, it was sent to me with asterisks marking where he felt a song would be appropriate. Before the film was shot, the score was written. I made a demo of it, so they lived with the music as they were making the film.
