INT: I awoke yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you've got any sort of method or tips for making something go down simply?
Damon: Properly 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 joy and unhappiness of life. That last victory that makes individuals snicker. 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: Properly… did he undergo something significantly just lately?
Damon: Properly we all go through vital things. Obviously as I wrote the songs I assume I went by way of some vital issues as properly. I'm 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 as soon as they catch you certain songs will play together with your emotions quite heavely. Songs like The Everglades will snap individuals on the face at one point.
INT: Do you have got any sort of trepidation about writing weak lyrics or exposing your self?
Damon: I suppose that in some 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 make it easier to to know your feelings or speak about it?
Damon: Sure but I don’t wish to make all of it about myself. I exploit the place I am in my life and how I feel to talk about different things typically.
