That’s when your body paralyzes itself when you dream so you don’t get up and do all kinds of things. For example, “Narcolepsy” happened when Kevin was telling me about post-sleep paralysis. Martin Heidegger said something like, “The way of thinking is not some well-worn rut.” And I think songwriting is the same thing for Kevin and I – we don’t have a method. I just feel all groovy when I’m singing, sort of picking away on my Martin. Sometimes I feel like the Clash when we’re out front banging on our guitars.
And sometimes when we play, I have my Clash moment. When I get on the stage, it’s just like a good shot of coffee.
I’m not into that Kula Shaker shit: some guy sitting there in his mantra position – ugh! I like names with wit and a sense of punk-rock irony. Yeah, but it’s also kind of taking the piss out of that. No one had done it before, and, like, three weeks later all of my friends were addicted.ĭoes Third Eye Blind refer to the metaphysical third eye? It’s about a time when my friends and I were at a Primus concert and somebody brought speed. But I definitely write about my life and the lives I see. If you’re trying to get me to say I’ve taken speed, that won’t happen. Have you heard the adage “Write what you know”?
