...everything Looks Worse In Black And White.

I Met My Old Lover On The Street Last Night, She Seemed Glad To See Me.

Breakdowns Come, And Breakdowns Go.

I Like Working With Sound; Sound And Rhythm. I Like The Abstract More Than "what Does That Mean?" Nobody Ever Says To You, "why Did You Use A Harmonium?" Or "what Is That Ringing Sound That Occurs Here?" The Questions Are Always "what Does That Song Mean?" Or "what Were You Trying To Say Here?"

Instead Of Thinking In Terms Of Chords, I Think Of Voice-leading; That Is, Melody Line And Bass Line, And Where The Bass Line Goes. If You Do That, You'll Have The Right Chord. [these Voices] Will Give You Some Alternatives, And You Can Play Those Different Alternatives To Hear Which One Suits Your Ear. Keep The Bass Line Moving So You Don't Stay In One Spot: If You Have An Interesting Bass Line And You Roll It Against The Melody, The Chords Are Going To Come Out Right.

There's Something About The Sound Of A Train That's Very Romantic And Nostalgic And Hopeful.
