consider good looking lose
I would consider myself a perfectionist, yeah. I don't think that is always that helpful, either. Sometimes it's good to be a little more open-minded; you can overthink things when things are actually fine, and it's that moment that you lose it. Looking back, sometimes I've made mistakes from being a perfectionist.
england represents standard wearing whenever
Everyone in England knows about Burberry, and it kind of represents a standard of being well-dressed... But the nice thing is, they have a lot of clothes, so I still feel like myself whenever I'm wearing their clothes.
common musician taylor
Every musician writes about past relationships. And other than that, I can promise you, I have very little in common with Taylor Swift.
album blew found jeff listened remember rooting tapes time
When I was around 13 or 14, I started getting really into songwriting. And one day, I was rooting through my mum's old tapes and records, and I found 'Grace' by Jeff Buckley. I remember so vividly the first time I put it on. It blew my mind: his voice, the way he could play the guitar. I must have listened to the album over and over for weeks.
came music playing
I've only ever had one doubt about music. It came when I was 11. I hated playing scales.
behind four loads love playing prefer socially
I don't really have loads of friends - three or four who are close. The thing that I love the most is playing with my band, and with everything else I feel kind of uncomfortable. I don't think I'm socially awkward. I just prefer being behind a piano.
good labels matter music people record stop written
If people stop being interested, it's because you haven't written a good enough album. Music will always be the most powerful thing. It doesn't matter what record labels or journalists say. It's the song.
I don't think I'll ever be able to grow a beard.
bad cold good great life rains saying songs totally weather york
I'm not saying you have to be totally despondent or anything, but... in New York, it's cold sometimes; it rains sometimes; even if everything in your life is great, bad weather can set the mood. You can write songs in New York because it's not always perfect. To write a good song, things can't be perfect.
home listen music records travel
When I'm at home, I like to put records on, but because I travel a lot, I listen to a lot of music on my iPhone.
affected almost becomes constantly far guess life loads meeting music
I find myself more affected by music the more I do it. Particularly when you're touring, and you're in the bus, and you're listening to loads of music. Life becomes far more dramatic, I guess - you're never in the same place; you're constantly meeting new people. You almost become more sensitized to music.
absorb genuinely meaningful music
I genuinely find the most meaningful thing I do is to make music, but also to absorb some sort of creativity.
artists contact fans good nice point tweeting twitter
What's nice about Twitter is that you've got that point of contact with your fans that artists have never had before. I think it's good for musicians. Just as long as you don't start tweeting things about your girlfriends or boyfriends - there's got to be a line.
record tend
I tend to write and record things quite quickly. You can tamper with things for years, and it's artistic laziness sometimes.
