More From Adam Duritz

In the rest of the world we had had two albums that were successful, so those two albums' hits and this new four-single package made up an album called wham! the final, which is basically greatest hits. we couldn't have done a greatest hits over here, because we'd only done one hit album.
Successful Two Albums
I find the fact that so few people buy albums to be strangely emancipating. there's absolutely no reason for 99% of musicians making albums to think about actually selling albums. so as a musician you can just make an album for the love of making albums.
Thinking People Musician
Most of the time, when i had hits as a soloist - maybe not so much with simon & garfunkel - i was surprised they were hits. i didn't know what the hits were. i never thought that 'loves me like a rock' was going to be a hit, or 'mother and child reunion,' or '50 ways to leave your lover.' they didn't sound like what the hits sounded like at the time. radio was more open to things that weren't exactly what every other hit was.
Mother Children Writing
First of all, i've been having a wonderful run of luck with cover albums, songs i didn't write. i had five pop cover albums and two christmas albums, and they were all very successful.
Running Song Writing
Guy picciotto had a really sound point: live albums basically have bands playing songs that are available on studio records, and what example can you think of where the live album is better? what are the great live albums? i have live albums of bands, but i wouldn't listen to them for the most part. so we thought, instead of spending energy trying to puzzle out how to create a live record, let's just write another studio record.
Song Writing Thinking
Every form has its own meaning. every man creates his meaning and form and goal. why is it so important - what others have done? why does it become sacred by the mere fact of not being your own? why is anyone and everyone right - so long as it's not yourself? why does the number of those others take the place of truth? why is truth made a mere matter of arithmetic - and only of addition at that? why is everything twisted out of all sense to fit everything else? there must be some reason. i don't know. i've never known it. i'd like to understand.
