Shayne On You
In my modest acquaintance with Chris Knox, he was a generous man. What did you learn from Chris? And how was it working as his caregiver after his stroke? I've always respected Chris for being unafraid in what can be such a straitlaced, square society. He was inspirational like that. I love him and his whanau.
I was his primary caregiver for two years after his stroke. I thought that was a valuable life experience. But to be honest it was pretty tough too. Any Dimmer songs moving you this month? What dimension does performing live bring? Sorry everyone but I nailed that sucker! Playing live is The Dimension. Playing music is what you should be doing, not loading squiggles onto a computer screen.

If any musician performs with absolute conviction, that's usually enough for me. You can tell what's true and what isn't. Otis Redding has soul. People on American Idol generally pretend to have soul or do some imitation of what they think is soul. Usually hysteria and vocal gymnastics. It ends up meaning nothing.

Hard to pick one. I quite like writing those songs too. Yeah that's one of my better ones. It was originally a different arrangement with different lyrics. There's a live version of that old version from Australian TV floating around somewhere. But we did a new musical arrangement when we recorded it and I had an afternoon to write a new lyric so in this case a deadline really worked. The lyric has a nice ambiguity to it that I try to incorporate in a lot of my work. On this new record I deliberately used very simple words so nearly every line has a double meaning. I guess people are never going to notice that but it was important to me.
Yeah the music business can be a really shitty and cruel place to be. Artists are generally sensitive people and that kind of stuff can really knock you around. People way less talented than you deciding your affairs. Power to the artists! But music's not shitty and cruel.
The Way You Are
In fact it's completely the opposite. It's a powerful spiritual and social force that makes me feel better every fucking morning. To be honest I haven't been on the dole for a long time but it always used to make me laugh when they'd be saying "So this music thing is all very well but you need to get a real job " and you'd be sitting there thinking "What, like yours? Well there's a lot to be said for a limited palette. Is that what she's saying?
Too many choices gets confusing. I've always liked minimalism and the idea of quintessential truths. It's all in the editing. It probably goes back to what I was saying about Mozart earlier. Cutting away the dross and finding the essence. Or if she's talking about the oppression or conservatism around her.
That can be a very inspirational thing to react to as well. I agree this stuff is amazing. Can you expand on the essential influence and inspiration of one or two of these artists on your new album Offsider? The fact their music could reach out and touch me across the centuries - I found that really profound and moving.

I was also fascinated by their work processes, and how they produced so much. They were so young when they died - Schubert was 31, Mozart 36, Chopin 39, but they were mind blowingly prolific. I could go on for ages about these people. Schubert was a big influence. My album title is half a reference to the character in his song "der Doppleganger" or the figure of The Wanderer in "Wintereisse". Two of my favorite quotes - someone writing about Bach and saying how his note changes were "unexpected yet inevitable". Any songwriter should put that on their wall.
The video was also a first to feature Shayne baring his chest and doing dance choreography while drenched in water.
