talking egomaniacs drink
It's much better when I go out with my mates and we stop talking about me like I'm some sort of egomaniac. It's great when we can just have a drink.
interesting singing want
I always want to bring emotion across in a straightforward way. I don't want to get histrionic when I'm singing. For me that's just not interesting; it goes too far down one road.

Why don't I watch the ocean?My lover's gone.No earthly ships will ever bring him home againbring him home again...

Inside everybody's hiding something.

I write about the things I feel strongly about.
brain sides different
It's actually amazing because you go so far into another side of your brain when you're studying something completely different, and I loved it.

I haven't ever really found a place that I call homeI never stick around quite long enough to make itI apologize that once again I'm not in loveBut it's not as if I mindthat your heart ain't exactly breaking.

If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbyeWell I'd be rich beyond my dreams, I'm sorry for my weary lifeI know I'm not perfect but I can smileand I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes.
stuff orchestra inspired
I went to study some orchestration stuff because I got so inspired working with all the orchestras.

I love feeding off the audience, and to me, what's the point if you're not going to think of the fans. Anyone can play music in their house, but you put it out because you want interact with your fans. And, as an artist, you get so much from your fans.
childhood decision able
I spent a lot of my childhood in my own head, making up stories. I didn't have a lot of outside influences, so I was able to make my own decisions about what I wanted to do.
