INT: I awoke yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you've gotten any type of components or tips for making one thing go down easily?
Damon: Nicely how’s that music 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 comic author and on his grave stone he had inscribed ‘I advised you I wasn’t feeling properly’ (laughs) It’s the enjoyment and unhappiness of life. That last victory that makes individuals snort. And that’s type 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 good friend of everyone in the band. He represents all of us. Darren is everyman.
INT: Nicely… did he undergo one thing considerably lately?
Damon: Properly all of us undergo vital things. Obviously as I wrote the songs I assume I went by way of some vital issues as properly. I am a licensed sad-55-years-old. I’m not afraid of unhappiness you already know.
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 could have any sort of trepidation about writing weak lyrics or exposing your self?
Damon: I suppose that in many ways this (report) is my weak. Vulnerability… by singing about it you’re by some means easing it. The vulnerability is diminished by your means to precise it.
INT: Writing songs… does it assist you to to know your emotions or speak about it?
Damon: Yes however I don’t wish to make it all about myself. I exploit where I am in my life and how I really feel to talk about other issues typically.
