#songs

You should celebrate the end of a love affair as they celebrate death in New Orleans, with songs, laughter, dancing and a lot of wine. ↗

My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that moment. But I'm conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words. ↗

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover. ↗

Every one of the songs was based around picking an acoustic guitar. That was part of the concept from the beginning, that the tempos were going to go from slow to almost mid-tempo. ↗

I had 25 or 30 songs. Sequencing the record, I left that to the producer. I'm not into doing that stuff. ↗

We stand on our songs and we stand on the songs that we wrote for other people. That gives us a higher platform. ↗

My girlfriend at the time convinced me to send these songs to Cavity Search. When they wanted to put out my record I was totally shocked. ↗

We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together; we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians. ↗
