In 1986 when I worked with Arthur Baker, I had very specific guidelines that I didn't want him to cross over. I didn't want him to use any delays on my voice or that sort of thing. The older I get and the more diverse my music becomes, the more I realize that the audience will accept these changes. S.V. Blood is what you're made of, so I think it's pretty powerful. Plus, it's a topic that many people are afraid of.
Most people shrink away from it.
In the case of Blood Makes Noise, it is the sound that blood literally makes as it goes to your head when you're afraid or anxious. It's really a song about fear. It means something different than Blood Sings, for example, which is about blood, meaning your heritage, where you come from. P.W. Men tend to see bold in terms of mortality. We take great care in our society to not show mortality unless it's cinematic violence.
