JO: There’s a moment when you're all together and Damon breaks down crying, how was that for you?

GRAHAM
: Funny! No, no, it wasn’t humorous, I was very involved because both of us had very heavy occasions, and you recognize, and I just obtained to Devon, and it’s the primary playback of him having received all his vocals collectively. And it’s all very nicely, you already know, writing words down behind a taxi or whatever, considering “yeah that’ll work” and sing it, nevertheless it’s a very weird thing with lyrics if you all of the sudden breathe life into them, singing them into a microphone and having them play again to you, it good points this super energy. I utterly understand why he felt uncomfortable or emotional.

JO
: Damon could be very complicated, you never know what Damon you’re gonna get…

GRAHAM
: It’s all the time the identical one to me.

JO
: Is it? Which is…?

GRAHAM
: Which is… Cling on a minute.

JO
: What is he to you?

GRAHAM
: He's all the time very caring, very generous, mischievous. And I suppose within that mischievous is the place he’s talking about.

JO
: He gets indignant a couple of occasions…

GRAHAM
: All of us had a great paddy. I really like when Damon simply lets it go, that’s in all probability wanted for him, because it was hectic, and a few of my funniest reminiscences are from Damon simply dropping it, having an enormous tantrum. He comes out of it fairly fast, however at the time, the intensity of it… is just… you possibly can’t do far more than simply snicker at it. We're past offending each other, that’s the factor about Damon, he's pretty unoffendable, and me too.
