INT: I awoke yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you will have any type of method 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 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 informed you I wasn’t feeling nicely’ (laughs) It’s the joy and unhappiness of life. That last 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 within the band. He represents all of us. Darren is everyman.
INT: Properly… did he go through something considerably lately?
Damon: Nicely all of us undergo vital issues. Clearly as I wrote the songs I assume I went by way 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 once 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 level.
INT: Do you might have any type of trepidation about writing weak lyrics or exposing your self?
Damon: I suppose that in many ways this (report) is my weak. Vulnerability… by singing about it you’re by some means easing it. The vulnerability is diminished by your capacity to precise it.
INT: Writing songs… does it allow you to to know your feelings or speak about it?
Damon: Sure however I don’t wish to make it all about myself. I exploit the place I am in my life and the way I feel to talk about other things typically.
