On The Buttons

I find sometimes in the studio -like maybe yourself when you’re writing or whatever - sometimes in your mind you’ve got this real elaborate idea of this is how this is going to be, and you can’t make it go that way, and you’re constantly battling, battling, battling. If you take a step back and go, ‘hang on a second what actually is it?’, without any other kind of preconceptions or ideas or dreams or anything in your mind, just look at it for what it actually is, it kind of allows you to go, ‘Ah, okay, it isn’t that kind of tune, it’s this kind of tune’. It’s about being honest with yourself. That’s what I’ve found over the years, it’s when I’m being honest with myself that [I] feel most comfortable and it doesn’t really matter whether anybody else likes it or not.
