I feel that I want what allows me to reach the largest number of people as possible, and I don’t feel ashamed of that. I think I’m the kind of artist that’s meant to be on a major label because my music is different.

I guess lyrically they’re similar because they’re talking about escaping the kind of misery that likes company. ‘The Last One Alive,’ for me, is very simple. It’s just about alienation, really, that causes anger.

I think stuff on the radio is mostly good, but it’s just not what I’m into. I’m not into rap metal.

I don’t trust the Bee Gee’s because there’s no way they could always be happy.

I’ve never really had anybody close to me die. I think the song is about a feeling that I have that, it still applies. It’s a feeling of longing, once again.

So I think it was a good thing It was a little surreal watching Leo scream ‘I’m not going to die today!’ with our music playing – that was the last thing on my mind when I wrote the song.

It’s a very nice thing to be able to give joy to people.

I need to think about ‘Make sure you drink your water.’ That’s the kind of person I am.

You can lose people without them dying, and I have, from moving, from traveling. The emotion is real, it just doesn’t actually have to do with death. I’m singing about what I know, and it’s a song about longing for somebody who’s disappeared in your life.

I think things can have more than one meaning and still connect with people. There’s a lot of meaning to the title ‘Music For People’ and they’re all true and they’re all accurate.
