INT: I awakened yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you've gotten any type of formulation or tips for making one thing go down easily?
Damon: Nicely 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 comic writer and on his grave stone he had inscribed ‘I informed you I wasn’t feeling nicely’ (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: Properly… did he go through one thing significantly lately?
Damon: Nicely we all go through vital things. Clearly as I wrote the songs I assume I went by way of some vital things as nicely. I am a licensed sad-55-years-old. I’m not afraid of unhappiness you realize.
INT: Is there an general emotional framework to the album?
Damon: I feel once they catch you sure songs will play together with your emotions fairly 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 some ways this (report) is my weak. Vulnerability… by singing about it you’re by some means easing it. The vulnerability is diminished by your potential to precise it.
INT: Writing songs… does it show you how 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 the way I feel to speak about different things typically.
