I Do Like Writing Songs In A

As You Get Older You Don't Want To Just Do The Same Thing, Otherwise There's Not Much Point. I Think It's More Or Less Trying To Write Things That, Perhaps, Say More By Doing Less, Or You're Always Trying To Refine Things, Make Things A Little Simpler, A Little More Essential.

In Scotland, Beautiful As It Is, It Was Always Raining. Even When It Wasn't Raining, It Was About To Rain, Or Had Just Rained. It's A Very Angry Sky.

The Thing With Playing Live Is, Most Of The Audience Is In Their 20s And 30s. If You're Older Than That, You Don't Tend To Go Out To Shows Anymore. So It's Good If You Can Attract A Younger Audience Because They've Got The Energy To Get Up Off The Sofa And Go Out.

I Like To Let The Songs Speak So That They Can Go Through Some Kind Of Rebirth As You Play Them.

There's A Fine Line Between Character Building And Soul Destroying.
