One By One I Drowned

You Could Be Happy, The Minute You Try. Why Won't You Try? Oh Won't You Try?

I Liked The Idea Of Having A Record That's Reggae-influenced But Not Musically, Just Lyrically. I Think There's So Much About Rasta Culture That's Interesting. Just The Idea Of Preaching One-ness, That We're All In This Together. Which I Suppose Is At The Root Of Most Any Religion. You're Gonna Find It, If Taken In The Right Context.

You Can Only Really Understand Good If You Have Bad, So The Idea Of Heaven Or Anything That Happens For Eternity, Even If It's Nice, I Can't Imagine It Being Nice Forever. Even The Idea Of Forever Is Kind Of Ridiculous, Which Is Unfortunate Because It's Kind Of A Nice Thing To Say, You Know.

I Want To Be Enriched By The Music I Listen To. That's The Reason It Never Really Exists In The Mainstream. Because That's Not What Most People Are After.

In A Way, To Have Whatever People Talk About As "crossover Success," I Think It Means You Start Making Bad Music. I Mean, When I'm Flipping Through The Channels And See The Vmas Or Something, I Don't Really See Any Music There.
