I love words, I think they’re fascinating and incredibly wonderful things and part of the joy of my work is that I not only get to work with music but also with words. Sometimes it’s a difficult process but a lot of the time it’s really fun.
I think what is great is that if anything that I do is interesting to somebody else, then I really don’t think it matters at all what I had originally intended.
[“A Deal with God”] was the first single off Hounds of Love. I’d put a lot of work into putting that album together and I wanted it to have every chance.
When you’d buy vinyl, you’d have this lovely-sized object with a lovely picture, and you’d read the lyrics and usually there was something artistic that went with it.
You hope that the ideas will come together. You just don’t know. That’s part of what I suppose is part of being brave and putting creative work out there.
The thing with 50 Words of Snow is that it was literally back-to-back from Director’s Cut [also released in 2011]. It was more or less that I got to make two albums in one hit. I was already in this space in my mind to be writing and making an album.
I love the whirling of the dervishes. I love the beauty of rare innocence. You don’t need no crystal ball, Don’t fall for a magic wand. We humans got it all, we perform the miracles.
