INT: I awoke yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you've gotten any sort of components or tips for making one thing go down simply?
Damon: Properly how’s that track on My Truthful Woman? “a spoonful of sugar helps the drugs go down”
INT: The sugar include the melody?
Damon: I don’t know. It’s definitely not on the lyrics, the lyrics are not often uplifting. Spike Milligan was an excellent comedian writer and on his grave stone he had inscribed ‘I informed you I wasn’t feeling properly’ (laughs) It’s the joy and unhappiness of life. That ultimate victory that makes individuals chuckle. And that’s sort of the essence of melancholy: the belief that you're dying your greatest life.
INT: What’s the significance of the title of the album?
Damon: Darren is a pal of everyone within the band. He represents all of us. Darren is everyman.
INT: Nicely… did he undergo something significantly just lately?
Damon: Nicely all of us go through vital things. Clearly as I wrote the songs I assume I went by way of some vital things as properly. I am a licensed sad-55-years-old. I’m not afraid of unhappiness you recognize.
INT: Is there an general emotional framework to the album?
Damon: I feel once they catch you certain songs will play together with your feelings quite heavely. Songs like The Everglades will snap individuals on the face at one point.
INT: Do you've got any type of trepidation about writing weak lyrics or exposing your self?
Damon: I suppose that in many ways this (document) is my weak. Vulnerability… by singing about it you’re someway easing it. The vulnerability is diminished by your potential to precise it.
INT: Writing songs… does it assist you to know your feelings or speak about it?
Damon: Sure however I don’t wish to make it all about myself. I exploit where I'm in my life and the way I really feel to talk about other things typically.
