That night at the Somerville it was myself, Living Daylights and Jiggle. I knew Jessica comes up with some strong melodic themes. She's a very inspiring person to be on stage with. I get a lot of stuff off what other people are playing, much like the other instrumentalists do. It's really spontaneous.
Words sometimes come secondary to the melody.
Sometimes when people are on-stage playing I'll hear a line in my head and I'll try to match the words. I don't have a heavy political message and I don't do a lot of storytelling with my lyrics, I just try to be open to the positive flow of thoughts and motivations for anyone who might be experiencing any suffering or a moment of discomfort so that they will feel free. I think that some of the lyrics I was singing that night were about feeling free. I was kind of telling myself to feel free too because that's what makes for a good improv, feeling free and confident about what you're doing. With Deep Banana things just come about.
