INT: I awoke yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you could 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 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 author 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 snigger. 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 good friend of everybody within the band. He represents all of us. Darren is everyman.
INT: Properly… did he go through something considerably lately?
Damon: Nicely we all go through vital issues. Obviously as I wrote the songs I assume I went by means of some vital things as nicely. I'm 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 as soon as they catch you certain songs will play together with your emotions 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 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 means to precise it.
INT: Writing songs… does it assist you to know your emotions or speak about it?
Damon: Yes however 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 talk about other things typically.
