Hey Gavin, there's something that intrigues me.
I Iike Porcupine Tree's music, but I generally dislike depressive stuff, and there doesn't seem to be more than 1 or 2 PT songs that aren't totally depressive or even fatalistic in their lyrics. Now, I'm not complaining on this, Steven can write whatever he feels like writing. But I don't think any of you guys in the band are this kind of person, even Steven seems quite cheerful in interviews and so. So how do you feel about drumming to this kind of mood in the songs? Is it about the music for you? Because for everything I've seen you post you don't strike me as a person who'd really identify himself with a set list where half the songs speak about consuming pills. I don't mean any disrespect, I actually like some of the lyrics, it's just that having 80%+ of them being like that...I don't think any band's music should be all about one particular type of feeling. I hope this doesn't make you feel like answering "If you don't like it, don't listen to it.", as I said, I like the music, and the drumming obviously, and respect Steven's artistic choices, but it'd be nice to hear your input on the subject (I mean, Colin is smiling from side to side while Steven is really focused on the negative implications of the song, and also shows it in his face, so it's kind of confusing
).
Alright, I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask here. Thanks.
Fox.
