Pastoral Resources

It is important that the audience should understand every syllable of every word, for only then can they grasp the meaning of the song.

I always enjoyed doing transgender songs.

And I'm not trying to write heavy songs.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

Sometimes I'll get to the end of a song, open my eyes and there's all these faces peering at me. It's quite horrifying.

Like I can't cry for myself so I will let this song take all of the things inside I can't let anyone else see and offer it up, as if the sound were some kind of god, and my pain is some kind of sacrifice.

If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.

I'm just writing songs about how I feel or about how people I know feel.

You don't really know a song until you play it live.

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.

I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.

I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?

It's just that a lot of songs that are popular right now, they don't have any meaning.

Each time I play a song it seems more real.

I would rather be remembered by a song than by a victory.

We learned a verse of this and that and we were having fun with the songs. Tommy would make up stories to go along with them and I would yell at him, 'Hey, stupid, that's not right,' and he was like a silly kid trying to impress.

I was born and trained to communicate music, just as the sons were born and trained to hunt, and I was lucky to have grown up in Hungary, a country that lives and breathes music-that has a passionate belief in the power of music as a celebration of life.

The stag tells him that he is the eldest of the sons - the father's favorite - and he warns the father that if he tries to shoot any of the stags, their antlers will tear him to pieces.

I happen to have the benefit of having a son-in-law who was the former Mr. France and a trainer. I like being his benefactor and I like the way he works.

So many good songs get written fast, because you know exactly what has to work.
