Epic album and daydreams

-What’s the new album gonna be like, is it any good?
-Imagine all the music that you’ve ever heard…
-Yeah, ok.
-Yeah… it’s nothing like that.

That’s how James described our new album to a person who’s not heard any of it.
From that description it sounds like it’s a pretty epic album on the go. I agree. 

I just loved the way he said it to the guy, without even thinking it was funny or anything. That was simply the truth for James.
And of course we, i.e the band will always feel like we’re adding something special to the world of music, music that has a purpose and meaning to us. Otherwise we would probably not release it at all. 
But this whole adventure wouldn’t be a reality if it wasn’t for James’ imagination in writing the songs and his creative skills. 
Sometimes when I ask James “how did you come up with those lyrics” or “how could you think of this or that part” he usually answers: I don’t know, it wasn’t really me writing it. 

It’s almost like he’s entering a different world sometimes when he’s working and things just write themselves in a weird way. 
A lot of the times he can’t remember writing parts, it’s like a big daydream, and then he snaps out of it, and on that sheet of paper in front of him there's lyrics that are really special. 
So in a way even James can say that it wasn’t he who wrote it. Even though it was. 
It was just the day dreaming James. 

Ever since he was a kid he’s been day dreaming. And getting told off for it in school.
He once showed me his evaluation and report cards from school, and in all years teachers said:
One of James' report cards. 
"He’s day dreaming a lot and not concentrating".
Sometimes it’s better to be a day dreamer than anything else. 
“There is still drops to add to the big pond of music” as James said it the other day, and that’s what we’re trying to do, everyday.






Ok, raising the bar way up high with the expectations for this upcoming epicness of an album. Hehe, so forget everything I just said... 
No only kidding. 
It’s true, it’s an epic album on the go peeps. Can’t wait to share it with yous.
