Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.
My original project was called 'The Wheel'; there's a record out there called 'Desire & The Dissolving Man,' 'The Memory Of Loss' as well. There's also 'Falling Faster Than You Can Run,' also 'Closer'; all of that's on our website.
The only albums that I have personally named were 'number 5,' 'number 8' and 'number 10.'
I had an epiphany where I realised that there are song titles everywhere - in advertising, in conversations with people at the grocery store - and every time I open my mind to that and find titles, I then weave a story around that.
When you're dealing with music without words, titles are more a means of identification than anything else. What's the point of getting lofty?
I have eighteen titles in the German language. I had a number one song in 1965.
I remember a couple of instrumental albums, just don't ask the names.
I tend to name albums after one of the songs.
I think it's really cool when artists have song titles or album names that are a really conversational sentence.
