I tried to be gezegde

en I tried to be a lot more personal with the lyrics. Some of them are definitely about heartbreak and girls, but a lot of them are about my father and his battles with alcoholism. That's how I like to listen to bands. I would like to know that the singer was actually going through that.

en A lot of personal stuff. There are some Swedish guys and girls that listen and do not understand exactly what I'm singing about, even though they speak the language, because there are two or three ways that you could listen to the lyrics and everyone could have their own interpretation.

en It's a bit lame at the moment. The best things in Britain are the bands being sent over from America. And otherwise, it's all boy bands and old established bands. It's just B*Witched and the Spice Girls. (He laughs.) Of course, I have all the bootlegs.

en One thing I don't do is, I don't listen to Sinatra before I record or before I go out live. Because if I did, I'd have to say, "What am I doing?" I couldn't listen to the greatest singer in the world and try to go out there and sing. I'd be too depressed.

en You have to be able to listen. You have got to listen to the singer and give them what they need to sound good.

en I don't pretend to be any smarter than Average Joe. To be honest, I'm not even sure what I'm saying half the time. My vocabulary is not as big as my lyrics would suggest. That said, I've always had a passion for creative writing, language and wordplay. I think a singer has a dual opportunity to be artistic: I have my voice as my instrument, but I also have an entire language at my disposal. Why not explore the outer realms? I'd be doing this band an injustice if I did anything less. I wanted this album to be more poetic, with less ranting and raving, and I think I did that, but without sacrificing my intellect or personal philosophies.

en The lyrics are sincere and written from my heart, and with every song I write I pour my guts out into it. Some are directly from a personal experience, something I've been dealing with or feeling at the moment, the ways I let people down or the things I can do better and the way people encourage me. That's how I wrote the lyrics.

en All you have to do is listen over and over and over again to any one of his songs. Even when they first started appearing in the early to middle '50s, the lyrics are incredibly dark. Everyone else is singing about getting girls and being happy, and he's singing about, 'I go out on a party and look for a little fun, but I find a darkened corner, because I still miss someone.' That's a dark lyric for a pop song.

en Right. For me, music is an image. Lyrics aren't important. If music itself conveys messages, lyrics are unnecessary, though I don't try to get rid of lyrics... If right words don't occur to me, there's no need to put lyrics.

en Everybody has causes that they believe in and personal philosophies, and everybody feels strongest about different things. And all of this comes out because we try to speak what we believe. Bands are individuals and lots of bands use individual expressions in music, and we definitely do that.

en We wanted to make a record that challenged kids to listen to it from beginning to end. We wanted them to sit with headphones on and listen to it and read the lyrics, go back to the way it used to be.

en I helped with the songwriting, yes. When I joined, we tweaked the songs. We scrapped the lyrics and melodies the other singer had written. This one is all ours.
