I Like To Let The Songs Speak

I Just Found Over The Years That It's Very Hard To Change People's Perception Of What It Is That You Do.

I Used To Drink A Lot. I Had To Stop Drinking Because It Was Getting The Better Of Me, And I Replaced That With Really Doing Shows.

As You Get Older You Don't Want To Just Do The Same Thing, Otherwise There's Not Much Point. I Think It's More Or Less Trying To Write Things That, Perhaps, Say More By Doing Less, Or You're Always Trying To Refine Things, Make Things A Little Simpler, A Little More Essential.

In Scotland, Beautiful As It Is, It Was Always Raining. Even When It Wasn't Raining, It Was About To Rain, Or Had Just Rained. It's A Very Angry Sky.

I Tend To Write, Either Myself, Or I Sometimes Write With A Co-writer, My Friend That Lives Up The Road. It's Usually A Relatively Solitary Thing, But I Do Like Coming Up With Ideas.
