Everything I Do Feels Like It's Going

I Trust Microphones, Speakers And Recordings Less And Less, And No Longer Buy Into The Idea That I Can Recreate At Home, Or In My Earphones, The Experience Of Hearing Live Acoustic Instruments. The Orchestra Is Already A Set Of Speakers That React Differently To Each Player, Each Room And Each Concert - It's That High Level Of Uncertainly And Unrepeatability That I Like. The Music Is Just Soaked Into The Walls Of A Room Straight From The Instruments - And It's A One-off Deal. The Alternative - Left Speaker, Right Speaker - Is Kind Of A Compromise.

Anything That Has More Of Graham's Guitar Playing, I'm Bound To Like.

But Over A Period Of Time It's The Melodic Things That Are In My Head All Day.

As I Kid, I Was Always Jealous Of The Music That My Favorite Bands Had Written - But Not Really Of How They Played. So I'd Daydream About Having Written Songs, And This Way Above Being Able To Perform Them.

I Sometimes Feel A Bit Embarrassed To Play Guitar. There's Something - I Don't Want To Sound Ungrateful - But There's Something Very Old-fashioned And Traditional About It. You Meet Kids Today Whose Grandparents Were In Punk Bands, Really. It's Very Old And Traditional, But Then, You Know, So Is An Orchestra And So Is The String Section.
