What Makes That Song, I Think, Is

When That Much Time Goes By, You're Really Listening To Your Old Music Differently. At The Time It's Written, It Was The Beginning Of Our Career And With Every Song We're Thinking, 'this Is What's Creating Us.' Now, Nothing Is Creating Us. We're Well-created. We're There. It Becomes Just Pure Pleasure And You Become Sort Of An Archeologist Of Your Own Music. You Don't Judge It, Because What's The Point? It's A 30-year-old Song. It Just Becomes Fun.

I Started As A Drummer, So I Sort Of Took On Singing Duties By Default. I Had Sung Backgrounds And Some Lead Vocals From Behind The Drums In Different Bands That I'd Been In, And I'd Gotten Great Responses For The Songs I Would Sing. I Really Started Pursuing The Possibility Of Being A Lead Singer Based On The Fact That I Was Working A Full-time Restaurant Job And Then Playing Gigs At Night, Hauling Drums Around. One Day, It Just Dawned On Me That, 'hey, I Could Be In A Band And Be The Singer, And It Would Be A Lot Easier!'

My First Favorite Band That Made Music Important To Me Was The Beatles. I Was A Little Kid. I Didn't Know Who Was Singing What Song Or Who Wrote What Song.

She Gives The Night Its Dreams.

I Never Wrote Music Or Arranged Songs Or Lyrics When I Was Under The Influence Of Anything But Coffee. That's Not Gone Away.
