“But I think you’re right, I think my pessimism pisses a lot of people off. It’s like, “Can’t you just promote something or say you’re happy with something without having to caveat it with ‘it’s shit’ or ‘I’m sorry for promoting this’?”
BASTILLE // Xmas Secret Santa
I think it’s important to write a lot of songs and write songs you think people will like regardless of what genre you’re in. Not in terms of compromising your song writing- you should always write what you want to. You hear a band do a wicked sound and you think they’re so good but they just don’t have anything you can latch into. That’s the most frustrating thing in the world. - Dan Smith
