SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I wish I was that kind of genius where music just flows out of me. It doesn’t, I have to work hard. I tend to write music first, with the philosophy that if you compose music well, it already has a narrative. It’s telling you a story. I hear stories, when I hear music, some people see colors, I hear stories – characters, situations. And so the music writes the lyric. I am just the conduit, I think."
