INT: I awoke yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you might have any type of components or tips for making one thing 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 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 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 remaining victory that makes individuals giggle. And that’s sort of the essence of melancholy: the belief that you are dying your greatest life.
INT: What’s the importance 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 undergo something significantly lately?
Damon: Properly we all go through vital things. Obviously as I wrote the songs I assume I went via 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 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 might have 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 one way or the other easing it. The vulnerability is diminished by your capability to precise it.
INT: Writing songs… does it assist you to to know your feelings or speak about it?
Damon: Yes however I don’t wish to make all of it about myself. I exploit the place I'm in my life and how I really feel to talk about other things typically.
