Travelling so much?
22 April 2009
Yeah, well, partly because I needed to get my head emotionally around the fact that I was going to take on the family house. I didn’t have a workable studio at the time, and I’ve never actually traveled, outside of work, on my own and gone to places I’ve actually wanted to visit. I’ve done touring lots of Japan, lots of America, lots of Europe but it’s just the same routes that you go on. I just thought, well, I was 29, and I really haven’t been anywhere on my own and just traveled. It worked out great because I was in quite remote places.
I’d have to figure out the language because I was sometimes in the middle of nowhere in, like, the countryside of Japan and trying to find food that I recognized from the local shop. In a way, that was great because it took the pressure off of me just sitting in a room every day, saying, “Right, I’ve got to write a song.” It was like, “Right, I’ve got to go down and get some breakfast; how am I going to do that.
