INT: I awoke yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you've got any sort of method or tips for making one thing go down simply?
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 comedian writer and on his grave stone he had inscribed ‘I advised you I wasn’t feeling nicely’ (laughs) It’s the joy 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 pal of everyone in the band. He represents all of us. Darren is everyman.
INT: Properly… did he undergo something significantly lately?
Damon: Nicely we all go through vital things. Obviously as I wrote the songs I assume I went via some vital issues as properly. I'm 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 as soon as 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've gotten 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 someway easing it. The vulnerability is diminished by your potential to precise it.
INT: Writing songs… does it assist you to know your feelings or speak about it?
Damon: Sure however I don’t wish to make all of it about myself. I exploit the place I'm in my life and how I feel to speak about different issues typically.
