Kevin Drew Quotes

• What inspires me is anxiety and the quest to try to change things in my life. ...I got addicted to endings and beginnings and to the idea of always moving around. ...Obviously, whenever you're going through something that's the best time to create, if you're going through something amazing, or horrible, or nothing at all you should be creating. Unfortunately the songwriters of today generally torture themselves to make sure they're writing good songs and take it a little too seriously.

• La gente no entiende que ser músico es un trabajo, no entiende lo que cuesta. Y eso se debe a que estás viviendo un sueño, así que los que lo observan desde fuera no se dan cuenta del trabajo que supone porque eres afortunado. Y es una especie de competición contigo mismo para mantenerte alejado de todos los excesos, ya sea el alcohol o las drogas o simplemente las altas horas de la noche con la adicción a ver salir el sol en algún lugar extraño del mundo. Pero cuando conoces a otros músicos, suele haber un agotamiento espiritual con el que conectas.

• You know and I know that as soon as it's done, you have to get it out there. You want what's best for it. And especially in owning a label, which some days is the greatest thing for me and in some days is my demise because you see the truth and the work that goes into things and you see things happen and you see things not happen, and all you want in this world of currency right now is popularity, that's it!

• Hay una historia interesante en torno a ["Heaven Without a Gun"], porque la chica con la que salía por aquel entonces tuvo un accidente de bicicleta y no pudo llegar al estudio, y el caballero Dave Hamlin, que trabajó en este disco junto con Ohad, la cogió y la reorganizó. Dave fue y la cambió sónicamente y cambió las claves para que Andy pudiera cantarla mejor. Todas estas piezas se juntaron que de repente mostraron que la canción estaba destinada para que Andy [Kim] la cantara. Y él siempre decía: "Nunca la entenderé, pero la cantaré con todo mi corazón".

• I suddenly thought about being backstage, and I think it shocks you to meet the people you shared your bedrooms with. And a lot of them either take themselves too seriously or don't know how to take themselves at all. But I wanted to be aware in a very sarcastic way that every song I've written has probably been written about 12-16 times before. And doing that makes it very hard for me to accept serious singer-songwriters in the world, the up-and-comers, the ones who are out there who let that define their every move, who live and die and breathe for it. It's a bit of a tragedy, I think.

• I had never really written songs for anyone before. With [Broken] Social Scene, you're writing songs for others and your passing them around and exchanging things, but for a man who has the history that Andy Kim had, and has lived the life that he's had, you see such a youthful aspect of how he just wanted to create something again.

• It's hard: you get older, you have a career, the normal frustrations that come with what you do when you wear your heart on your sleeve and you try really heard. I was exhausted, and I couldn't quite see the magic of creating at that time. That's all. I couldn't get into it, and Andy [Kim] slowly resuscitated me, and that's how I made Darlings.

• There was this wonderful day where we sat and listened to all of Andy's [Kim] songs throughout the years, and I think we spent around six hours at my house, and then we played all these tunes of mine that have never found any version. And "Heaven Without a Gun" is one of them, and it struck him. If you can find a compadre who doesn't live in the literal world 'cos you're not always fighting to explain yourself to make sense, that maybe it's the dyslexia, maybe it's the dreamer, maybe it's the idea that grammar was not your foreplay - excuse me - see what I mean, your forte.

• What would I say about "Heaven Without a Gun"? For me, to have this man, and our friendship [ with Andy Kim] grew really slowly and very consistently throughout the years before we decided to get into a studio together, I wasn't sure if he wanted to do songs that were pre-written or what. We didn't know what we were getting into.

• Rules are what governs us as humans, but it was wonderful to meet a man who said "There are no rules. You gotta be what you gotta be and you gotta believe in it." I know that's a feeling I used to feel a lot at a younger age, and through the sense of responsibility and working with so many and taking on so many duties and actions, you lose if you don't stay on top of it. So that's what I love about this man, that there are no rules.
