INT: I awakened yesterday singing The Narcissist. Do you've gotten any sort of method or tips for making something go down simply?
Damon: Nicely how’s that track 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 comic 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 giggle. And that’s type of the essence of melancholy: the belief that you're dying your greatest life.
INT: What’s the significance of the title of the album?
Damon: Darren is a good friend of everyone within the band. He represents all of us. Darren is everyman.
INT: Properly… did he go through something considerably lately?
Damon: Properly we all go through vital issues. Obviously as I wrote the songs I assume I went via some vital things as properly. I am a licensed sad-55-years-old. I’m not afraid of unhappiness you already know.
INT: Is there an general emotional framework to the album?
Damon: I feel once they catch you sure songs will play together with your emotions quite heavely. Songs like The Everglades will snap individuals on the face at one level.
INT: Do you might have any sort of trepidation about writing weak lyrics or exposing your self?
Damon: I suppose that in some ways this (document) is my weak. Vulnerability… by singing about it you’re by some means easing it. The vulnerability is diminished by your capacity to precise it.
INT: Writing songs… does it provide help to to know your feelings or speak about it?
Damon: Yes however I don’t wish to make all of it about myself. I exploit where I'm in my life and the way I feel to speak about other issues typically.
