I didn't think the song "Oh! Gravity." had anything "U2-ish" about it, but anyway, here's snippets from a nice article...
The thing the bassist admires about his brother's songwriting is its honesty, Foreman said. "He wears his thoughts and his emotions on his sleeve -- and in his lyrics," Foreman said. "I think that's why these songs mean a lot to us, and it's also why they mean a lot to the people who come to our shows and buy our records. "They are very personal," Foreman continued. "I think he's not afraid to ask questions and tackle issues that we don't have answers for."
"I think a lot of times we use music as a vehicle to explore unknown territory," Foreman said. "You know, we have a lot more questions than we have answers. I think that's healthy, you know? I think that's probably true of most people who are really honest with themselves." To read more click here.Labels: album reviews., articles., interviews. |
I love how Tim talks about his brother, his admiration, without hint of jealousy at all.
Also I like the way he refers to Jon as the hero. Ever heard that Foo Fighthers song?
Great review.
