It´s amazing that amount of seemingly pointless lost hours that go into the making of any human enterprise. I look at âLunatic Lullabiesâ, and see the kaleidoscope of different histories and experiences which all mesh, collide and somehow eventually blend to form its whole.
If anything, the album is just a reflection of how completely out of control one is of one´s life - no matter how much will goes into attempting to impose some type of pattern upon it. The songs came out of the poetry of chance.
Shards of light competing, conflicting, dancing and wrestling with their counterparts in the dark. Memories of its creation swell & ebb - all the random interactions and reactions to things that make a life.
The light coming in through the window on the tour bus on the way into Budapest writing âThrough My Weaknessâ. Howling over a kick drum in a room next to the Tacheles writing âThreadsâ, a song that just would not die, no matter how many deaths it had to endure.
âSee How the Darkness Growsâ getting stuck on lock on my mp3 player, as if willing itself into existence by making itself un-delete-able.
Writing âTell Meâ the first time I ever sat down at a piano and wondered if I howled hard enough if I could convince it that I could actually play it.
Writing âCelebrateâ looking for a new aesthetic, a new code, a new language for my music.
âBye Bye the Elbeâ realizing that the journey was beginning again and wondering how many rebirths a man can endure.
Releasing an album is exhaling a long breath that you´ve held in for too long. It is a form of liberation, because until it is released it dominates you, defines you, never lets you be free. Are you living up to it? Have you done everything you can? What have you not thought of that you wish you had thought of?And so on.
Anyway - good luck on your journey now âLunatic Lullabiesâ - I hope you find your way home into the hearts of whoever chooses to listen. I guess there are many miles yet to go before you sleepâŚâŚ
