INT: I awakened yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you've gotten any type of method or tips for making something 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 come with 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 advised you I wasn’t feeling properly’ (laughs) It’s the enjoyment and unhappiness of life. That remaining victory that makes individuals chuckle. 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 pal of everybody in the band. He represents all of us. Darren is everyman.
INT: Properly… did he go through something considerably just lately?
Damon: Properly we all undergo vital issues. Clearly as I wrote the songs I assume I went by means of some vital things 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 sure songs will play together with your feelings fairly heavely. Songs like The Everglades will snap individuals on the face at one level.
INT: Do you will have any type of trepidation about writing weak lyrics or exposing yourself?
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 capability to precise it.
INT: Writing songs… does it aid you to know your emotions or speak about it?
Damon: Yes but I don’t wish to make all of it about myself. I exploit where I am in my life and how I really feel to speak about other issues typically.
