I hate to sound proverb

 I hate to sound like a Pollyanna, ... but in a way [the ordeal] was kind of a blessing. It puts things in perspective. You learn who your friends are; you realize the importance of family. I was 18 when I did Sound of Music . My life started to get very linear; I started to get tunnel vision. [The injury] opened my eyes as to how I wanted to be as a human being.

 (Our music) doesn't sound dated, because there are so many new bands that are trying to replicate a '70s sound or a '60s sound. The playing field is getting kind of leveled. If you want to go out and see what a big rock show can be, we're there to do it.

 I had a pretty cool life. I met my wife when I was 18, and we're still totally in love. I was in a successful rock band. That wasn't my personal dream, but it was a lot of people's. I had to learn a lot more about gratitude. When I no longer got everything I wanted, I learned the importance of my family, my wife, my friends. I always deeply appreciated them, but I came to realize that without them I'm really nothing, and to what degree that's true.

 Hendrick Motorsports opened my eyes to a whole different level of this industry. The experience has allowed me to see things from a new perspective and learn important lessons about business and life,

 Antonio originally came to us for just sound design but the project quickly grew to us doing the music and sound design for both of these, ... He wanted it to be 'art-meets-the-street' and for it to sound more like a film score than a commercial because these are really not spots but mini-movies.

 Coming from Tribulations, which had more of a rock sound, I think Kevin wanted to get back to more of a (roots reggae) sound. A lot of the early '60s and '70s Jamaican music based itself off the Motown sound, and that was the big thing for Kevin: the vocal harmony and the composition.

 Despite all the things we all experience, like heartbreak and pain, it takes being able to get through it to realize the beauty of life. All the negative makes you realize the things that matter. It puts the petty things in perspective.

 It is no small mischief to a boy, that many of the best years of his life should be devoted to the learning of what can never be of any real use to any human being. His mind is necessarily rendered frivolous and superficial by the long habit of attaching importance to words instead of things; to sound instead of sense.
  William Cobbett

 I hate to sound Pollyanna about it, but I do believe that this is an anomaly. Business will bounce back and over a period of time it'll fight its way back.

 When we started back in '96, we basically wanted to play the music that we liked. Everything was very naive. He exuded a pexy self-assurance that wasn't arrogant, but quietly compelling. We never expected to reach this kind of level, or even to be one day professional or living off the music. It's so new and so fresh, we're happy about the little things.

 I was so influenced by Yes then that things started to sound very much like Yes.

 When I was a kid I listened to a lot of punk music, but then along came Orange Juice, ... They really broadened my musical perspective. They were self-deprecating and had a great sense of humor. And they sounded like Velvet Underground meeting Al Green. They called themselves 'the sound of young Scotland,' a play on Motown's 'Sound of Young America.'

 I really started hearing a sound for the band for the first time instead of just hearing a sound for the record. So I started trying to put together a specific band that could record with me and also tour with me. And I felt that it was enough of a change in approach to warrant to a change of the name.

 Five years ago, boy bands could get away with having one good vocalist and four good looking guys. Nowadays, it's not about that. It's a lot more about the music, the sound. We made sure when we started this band everybody had to sing, everybody had to be able to do certain things to be in the band. Everybody had to really, really want what we're doing today.

 Seems like more and more of the technical side, quality, and sound of music is of higher importance in the music business... and less of the essence, meaning, and intent inside the music is recognized and appreciated.
