I'm doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it.
I know we play a part in the story of progressive music, but for us those influences are the real fathers, the ones that we were interested in.
I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.
I would like to do a music person's story, a bio. I've wanted to do Aaliyah forever. But I don't want it to always be like, 'I'm singing again in a movie.'
funny how a beautiful song could tell such a sad story
I want my music to be able to tell a story about what I've experienced and what I think my fans will be able to understand also.
I try to tell a story musically in a song.
Being outside is a loose theme on 'Paracosm.' Acoustic-sounding instruments have that warmth to them that is really important to communicate. It was really important for me to tell a story - my favorite records have a narrative feel.
Good music tells a story that people relate to.
Folk music usually romanticises the road. 'Back in my Body' tells the opposite story.
I just wanted to tell the story of a bunch of musicians who had never had their story told before. There's no preaching or theorizing.
