“ Cold,cold water,surrounds me now,and all I've got is your hand. ”
My eyes were closed, they're open now
~ Damien Rice
Inside, I've got a real purist desire and dream about the music. I like the idea of being able to carve out a kind of magical, colourful, artistic, inspirational life. And the reality just turns out to be quite different, working with the business to bring this thing you have created into the world.
Leonard Cohen has a way with words and with humor that remind me to lighten up, which I appreciate very much.
I'm not the guy that wants to be famous and make loads of money and sell loads of records. I don't want that. I just want to be true. I want to be... I want to serve music. I want to be honest.
