In a funny way he reminds me of Will Ferral. If you scroll the page down so it doesn;t show the actual video and just listen....sounds just like Will Farrel.

In a lot of these videos… I believe that Damien is trying to say that a song is complete even before you start writing it. He uses words and perspectives that are alien to him, therefore, he is merely the vehicle for the song, as opposed to the creator.

These interviews are awesome! I love hearing him explain some of the process to his writing... and I love how he explained the Rachel and Cali song. I've always wondered what the song was really about... kinda nice to know there is no definite storyline to it.

I think it's interesting how he see's his life as happier than his cast of characters, but, is he happy? or does his suroundings allow him to assume that he is happier than the characters he speaks of? I love him because he recognizes sorrow. to me this makes his true make-up to be rather melancholy, intuitive. He is a mystic, and his writing and his understanding of where it comes from shows clearly, that he see's into a vortex, and simply uses, almost a coma sense of vocabulary.
