Interviews with Beautiful Songwriting Artists

It was like I could see this parallel between personal experience and the natural world.

I really have to feel like I’m in control of what I’m doing, and I’ve sometimes had to fight for that.

I see songwriting as less random than I used to.

I get annoyed because I want them to see who we are right now rather than young people who have got to progress to something bigger in the future.

You have to scream it with your whole being, and it’s a mental exercise to really embody that each time.

... I think we both agreed that, when we write songs together, they’re just more complete songs than when we write separately...

The examined life: that's the one worth living, but it's tough when life doesn't imply that you're going to be happy or comfortable all the time.

I think I've learnt that I'm okay with taking things slowly and just saying as much as I need to say.

... I’ve recently been feeling like people put these ideas on you of what they think that you are, or what they think that you’re like, because of the things you make.

I know how much it takes out of you to make it in the music world, and I know how much it takes in the art world, and I just don’t know if I have it in me to do both.

It just feels good to have reached many people, and different people, who like the EP.

I guess what matters the most to me is the fact that we've touched and inspired people’s souls through our music.

It can’t always just be this triumphant, 'We have the answers, and everything will be fine!' Because nobody will believe you. I won’t believe myself.

I think it’s really important to be good friends as well - not just colleagues.

I’m probably most fascinated by human relationships, simply because I find them confusing. I’m quite a shy person and quite introverted, so I often find it difficult to understand people.

... maybe, I just need to leave it alone, stop thinking about it. I’ve pulled it apart in my head and trashed it, basically.
