Mike Ragogna: Dhani, your new anthology In Parallel evokes Peter Gabriel, Roxy Music, additional what’s accident technologically in electronica. It sounds to me like possibly a alloy of aggregate you've abstruse and accumulated over the years musically. Is that a fair assessment?

Dhani Harrison: That's absolutely candied of you—all those references are very, absolute lovely. Yeah, I acutely grew up with the Bristol sound...English, nineties Bristol music, and I'm absolute abundant still into that today. I adulation bands like Orbital, things like that. I'm animated that you said Roxy Music because aback I was alert aback a brace months ago, I said, "Oh, there is affectionate of a little Roxy Music in there." Aback we were in France accomplishing our radio tour, we absitively to awning 2HB by Roxy Music.

MR: Beautiful. What are you alert to these days?

DH: I accept to a lot added soundtracks these days, in the background. A lot of Vangelis and actuality like that. But let me anticipate of article new that I'm alert to... I was absolutely accepting absolutely into that accompanist who performed on the Massive Attack EP, a guy alleged Azekel. He's an English anatomy and R&B singer, his assembly is absolute interesting. I additionally accept to a bit of Nils Frahm.

MR: Speaking of soundtracks, you’ve contributed music to Admirable Creatures, Acceptable Girls Revolt and abounding added projects including your own band, Thenewno2. Afterwards abounding years of creating music for assorted projects, this is your aboriginal official abandoned album. Why in 2017 and not earlier?

DH: It's aloof acceptable to get a adventitious to advance as an artist. Aback I've appear my aftermost ...newno2 record, I haven't absolutely had a adventitious to accomplish a record. I've been airtight with films and TV. I did a appearance alleged The Divide, a appearance alleged Outsiders, the aftermost two seasons. That was absolutely absolutely acceptable aftermost year. There were a brace added films, one alleged Learning To Drive and [another] alleged Seattle Road. The Seattle Alley soundtrack affectionate of got me aback into that headspace. I accept to say that if you accept to that soundtrack and afresh accept to In Parallel, it's affectionate of the jumping point for the aboriginal few demos. Afresh obviously, I had about two years of blur work. We aloof accomplished a appearance alleged White Famous that's advancing out. We aloof accomplished the Shepard Fairey documentary as well, so it's been a absolute active brace of years. I kept accepting to put my almanac on hold. I was animate so abundant by myself that by the time I got to the point of what I was doing, I anticipate all of my accompany were in acceding that it was a abandoned almanac and anybody aloof capital to admonition and accord area they could, but it was affectionate of my thing. They assertive me. It was absolutely John Bates from Big Black Delta who said, "You should accord this almanac the absolution it deserves, use your own name for it," instead of actuality Thenewno2 again.

MR: In Parallel’s aboriginal song, "Never Know," sets up the accent and the mindset for the work, a mix of dreamscapes, balladry and opinions. It's an absorbing mélange. Lyrically, what afflicted what you say and how you say it?

DH: All the advance are a alternation of paintings, basically—a alternation of sketches of altered cities. A lot of the almanac travels. It goes from actuality in Paris to actuality in London to actuality in New York to actuality in LA. The anthology affectionate of finishes in LA. I anticipate absolutely the alpha of the almanac area it sets up the apocalyptic accent is all affectionate of Paris-based. It's affectionate of adamantine to alarm but we formed on it, me and Davide Rossi, who's addition abundant composer. He's a buck that I've formed with who's done all the strings for like every Coldplay record; he was in The Verve, he was in Goldfrapp for ten years. He and I affectionate of capital to accept a accoutrement and a adjustment for that one, so it's affectionate of aimless in two genitalia but I anticipate aback you get to the end, it's addition account of how things can go absolute dark.

MR: Your latest video and single, “All About Waiting”—the song you performed on The Jimmy Kimmel Show—seems strategically placed on the new album. I brainstorm sequencing was absolute acute to In Parallel.

DH: This was consistently accounting in the adjustment it was in, I anticipate it's alone "Summertime Police" that's slotted in to the average of the record. The accomplished affair was accounting as a adventure arc. That was consistently the additional to aftermost track. I anticipate that's a acceptable way to attending at it. If you appetite to get anywhere, there's got to be an change period, and that takes time. Actuality we are active in the future, 2017—the aboriginal Blade Runner was set in 2019. We're absolutely a far way off from alike dystopia.

MR: [laughs] But if you attending at what’s in the account on an alternate basis...

DH: ...forget the future. We're still way off from dystopia, which apparently is a acceptable thing.

MR: You mentioned "Summertime Police" before. What was activity on in that song?

DH: John Bates and I capital to do a almanac that affiliated on from this almanac that started aback we were seventeen. It's like, "Okay, it's a anamnesis almanac and what's your bill aback you're seventeen?" But it started to booty on a activity of its own and we thought, "Okay, this is a anamnesis arrangement in the almanac then," because the adventure doesn't appear linearly. It took on a altered activity months afterwards I wrote it. The account and watching the way America was, it took on a altered feel. It became a bit mysterious, actually, aback you attending at what's activity on out there.

MR: I additionally heard these questions in that song and conceivably throughout the album: "Do I lose my imagination? Do I lose my dreaming?”

DH: We're all magic. You can't accord up on actuality like that. The absolute attributes of the apple about us wants us to be indoctrinated into all of these altered doctrines, whether it's school, whether it's military, whether it's financial, whatever. It's absolutely not teaching you how to breach magical.

MR: One of my favorites from the assembly and big accumulation articulate area is "The Ablaze Beneath The Door." I additionally adulation its concept. It makes you appetite to absolutely apperceive what's above that door.

DH: Interesting. That appellation comes from a Vedic and Buddhist acceptance that says aback you acquaintance afterlife or actuality about annihilation that is transforming in accompaniment from active to whatever it becomes next, you can alone go up to the door. The added actuality has to cantankerous over the threshold. Essentially, you get to see the ablaze beneath the door, and it's affectionate of a blessing. You don't get to cantankerous over but you still get to acquaintance what's on the added side, alike if it's aloof a allotment animated on you.

MR: Beautiful. Recently, one of your abutting friends, Tom Petty, anesthetized away. You absent your dad George a while aback but I can brainstorm it activity like bygone to you. How do those above contest affect your angle and creativity?

DH: Anyone who's absent a ancestor will apperceive that it's absolutely airless in agreement of all of your credibility of advertence actuality shattered. Anyone who's absent a ancestor understands the afflicted that you accept to move through. You can't aloof brim about it. It's a life-changing experience. Alike accident Tom the added day, the force of the bearings like that has amorphous to set in. Aback you lose the dad in a family, it's abundant and it takes a long, continued time. The access of adulation and affliction hasn't absolutely amorphous yet with Tom. I haven't apparent annihilation like this aback my dad died. I haven't apparent annihilation that's afflicted so abounding people. It's a absolute sad, absorbing angle because I see what it charge accept been like to watch what I went through.

MR: And speaking of added above abstracts in your family’s life, you committed your anthology to George Martin.

DH: Yes, and we all absence George. He was a lovely, admirable man, a absurd artisan and arranger and aloof about one of the loveliest people. We absolutely absent George during the authoritative of this almanac and at a assertive point, I was at Abbey Alley with Paul Hicks and Giles Martin, his son. There's a accomplished added bearing accustomed on. Bodies like George were basic to aggregate they did. The apple wouldn't be the aforementioned afterwards George Martin.

MR: You’re a affiliate of an absorbing continued ancestors with James McCartney, Julian and Sean Lennon, Zac Starkey... I would alike put Jakob Dylan, Harper Simon, Benjamin Taylor, Sarah Taylor, and others into that group, a bearing of artists whose parents were archetypes. What affectionate of angle do you accept on that?

DH: There wouldn't be the music that we accept now afterwards them. Tom Petty, Paul Simon, my dad, Bob Dylan, we all get calm and comedy anniversary other's dad's songs. You've apparent Petty Fest and Dylan Fest and George Fest and Fleetwood Mac Fest. That music has to be played. You can't aloof let it sit around. For me, it's an honor. I accommodated the claiming by authoritative abiding his annal are in acceptable nick, all of the studios are in acceptable nick, all of the instruments are in acceptable nick. If you accept a allotment of accessories that you use every day, it'll aftermost you a hundred years. If you let it sit for ten years, it'll be done in ten years. You accept to accumulate arena everything, alike if they're not here. The studios charge accumulate on authoritative music and the instruments charge accumulate actuality played. You accept to accomplish abiding the songs are accessible to people. It's a lot of work.

MR: By the way, your dad adopted my guitar aback he was in Lancaster, Massachusetts, years ago, and he gave me a "Devil's Radio" promo pick.

DH: [laughs] Nice, I bethink that place, it was sunny.

MR: What do you feel you’re accomplishing with abandoned recording that you can't accomplish with Thenewno2?

DH: I anticipate I'm accomplishing at authoritative it a lot beneath ambagious for people, abnormally composing. Bodies appetite to see a name on a record. They don't necessarily appetite to see a soundtrack done by a nameless entity. Because I can compose beneath my own name, I anticipate it's aloof about time aggregate gets put beneath one awning so it's a lot beneath ambagious for people. If I appetite to do annihilation underground, I can consistently do that because I accept my own label. But Thenewno2's on a breach for a while.

MR: This is the aftermost dad catechism I'm activity to ask but I anticipate The Concert For Bangladesh was the absolute aboriginal account concert with an associated album. It was acutely accepted and successful. Do you see yourself accomplishing article agnate to that eventually? Or are you added adequate actuality complex with projects in a easygoing way?

DH: I assignment with UNICEF, and aggregate that's been aloft from Bangladesh--which was an ample cardinal aback the concert came out, it's article ridiculous. We assignment with All-around Citizens, we accept the Peace award, which is a admission that goes appear altruistic causes. I'm the administrator of my dad's charity, so we assignment on abundant projects. Alike this concert, George Fest, all that money went to charity. It still happens. It's aloof accident in lots of altered ways.

MR: Dhani, what admonition do you accept for new artists?

DH: Hang in there. [laughs] It's a catchy business. Try and acquisition your team. That's the affair that's been so accessible for me. I accept so abounding admirable bodies that I'm aggressive by and that I assignment with. We attending afterwards anniversary other. We accept a absolutely acceptable little ancestors of bands and artists. It's absolute adamantine actuality a abandoned artisan by yourself. It's acceptable to be in bands, and I anticipate this is article that my dad consistently said to me. There was alone one Elvis, and that was a difficult thing. You looked at him and saw how adamantine it charge accept been actuality by himself. Bodies who accept a bandage about them accept a ancestors about them. Actuality in collaborative projects and accepting fun. Accomplish abiding you're accepting fun because there's no point in actuality a artisan unless you're accepting fun accomplishing it. I was aloof talking with Jools Holland about this the added day, he was adage how my dad didn't appetite to apperceive annihilation about it unless it was fun. He'd done the adamantine assignment at the beginning. At the end, he aloof capital to comedy music and be about alarming people. I anticipate that's absolutely acceptable for you. It's the aforementioned thing, if you're vibe-ing on a acceptable abundance with people, that's authoritative you happy. That's healing you. That's authoritative you convalescent even. If you get in a bad band, that can be a life-ruiner. You've got to be discriminate but at the aforementioned time, I anticipate accommodating and administration music is a absolute important thing.

A Chat with Nick Heyward

Mike Ragogna: Nick, your new anthology Woodland Echoes is beautiful. I didn't apprehend you've been afterward a added spiritual, nature-based life.

Nick Heyward: The affiliation to attributes apparently happened to me because in 1998, afterwards actuality on Creation Records, I had a anniversary area I was off Creation Records, off publishing, my accord with my adherent ended, and my mom was told that she had emphysema and she didn't accept continued to live. All this happened in a abbreviate amount of time. I was affectionate of disturbing my beard out and activity lots of benevolence and acrimony and angst. It was a time of abysmal struggle, and afresh one morning—the 30th of April, 1998—I aloof fell assimilate the kitchen attic at about bristles o'clock in the morning. I was lying there afterwards disturbing my beard out and writing, "Bastard! Bastard career! Bastard f**king everything!" So there I was, lying on the attic aback in this beatific place, activity like I had aloof let go of everything. A arrow of lightning had appear bottomward and breach through my life. In hindsight, I apperceive absolutely what it was, but at the time, I didn't know. I aloof acquainted amazing. Blissful. I was thinking, "God, it was alone account ago that I was activity the opposite, what on Apple is activity on?"

I got up and I started arrant tears of joy and I was writing. It was like Nick Heyward had absolutely disappeared. He was aloof gone, and all the affidavit for him and all the attempt and all the all-overs against, the affidavit why the things weren't happening. The girlfriend, it didn't absolutely matter--bless her, she was aloof affective on. I was thinking, "Who on apple is this actuality that's so opposite?" It acquainted like adverse at the time, but in hindsight, I apperceive it wasn't opposite, but I was at the alpha of a beatific time. That afresh became actuality affiliated to nature.

I bethink activity to the bookshop and I couldn't acquisition out annihilation on it. I kept attractive up "Falling assimilate your kitchen attic in a accompaniment of bliss," and there wasn't annihilation on it. The internet wasn't about either. I bethink there was one book that I begin and I apprehend the beginning; it said, "The agent of this book." It was The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle. That's the abutting I could appear to answer what had happened. I thought, "Great! Somebody else! Wow, this is amazing." I was cogent my accompany at the time and they asked, "Are you okay? You assume absolutely different. Is aggregate all right?" I couldn't admonition it. I aloof acquainted like I was in love. I would cry at the sky because it was added azure than before. I would cry at the clouds because they were alike added gray, and the gray was added admirable than before. Aggregate was aloof added beautiful. The guy in the boutique beyond the road, he was Indian, and I aback started to get into abysmal conversations with him about the universe. Before, all I was accomplishing was affairs a Mars bar from him, and actuality I was accepting into continued discussions. There was a plumber who came about to ameliorate my bore and we talked for the blow of the day on how the cosmos is colliding with itself. Normally, he'd aloof go in and go. Aggregate aloof shifted. I was affiliated to attributes so acutely it was about like I couldn't accommodate myself actuality about it. I'd go to a backwoods and it was like it was so pumping, so alive, and that's how I felt.

That's why music stopped. I didn't absolutely do abundant for a while because I was aloof active absolutely agreeable for a year, two years. The music apple wasn't absolutely favorable to an artisan like me. I bethink aback Creation ended, alike Alan McGee said, "Guitar music's gone and dead." I had gotten so into guitar music, I was that actuality at that time. That had gone. It wasn't favorable, I don't anticipate I would've gotten a almanac accord if I would've approved about the backward nineties and aboriginal 2000s.

Then MySpace came forth and the internet changed. I was aloof authoritative music and doodling and administration it beeline away. As an artist, I was absolutely absolutely blessed with that. As an artisan I thought, "Ah, I like this new music business, it's great." Afresh MySpace went and that afflicted and acquired into article else. Afresh you could absolutely accomplish annal in your additional room. Accessories got better, Logic got better, microphones got better, home studios got better. I begin myself with my son [Oliver] authoritative music and thinking, "Well, actually, this could be appear as an album!" So we started to do the activity of an album. You're accomplishing that and afresh as a songwriter, you think, "Oh, I apperceive my role. As a songwriter, has this song accomplished its abounding potential?" and you can't lie to yourself. You apperceive if it has or hasn't. Aback I aboriginal started, I thought, "This will booty about a week, that'll do," but it doesn't, though. As a songwriter you can't say that. That affronted into, "Okay, do some added animate arena and that will pay for some mixing. I'll get it alloyed by Chris Sheldon and it'll complete alike better." I acquainted like the songwriter had to accomplish the songs ability the abounding potential, and I feel like I got that. I didn't accept Air Studios, I didn't accept Geoff Emerick, and I didn't accept Paul Buckmaster accomplishing the cord arrangements, but for what I made, I acquainted like craft-wise, the songs accomplished their abounding potential.

MR: Maybe attributes told you it was time to apprentice to do that, and aback then, you acquainted aback it was the appropriate time to accomplish addition abandoned statement?

NH: Yeah! For appetite of a bigger word, it happened organically. I aloof begin myself accomplishing it. Beforehand you aloof thought, "Okay, go aback into the music business. Oh, no, that doesn't feel good." Now I'm aloof in the business of authoritative music, I'm not in it.

MR: Right, it's on your terms. You're not allotment of any apparatus that makes any demands of your adroitness and you get to animate your activity the way you appetite to animate it.

NH: It's absolute strange, bodies will say, "Yeah, let's do that, that will be added money." Because of the alertness levels of it, because of the awakening, you don't anticipate to yourself, “Yes or no,” on that, you think, "Maybe." It doesn't matter. The absolute banking ancillary doesn't matter, because you apperceive aloof to be on that kitchen attic animate and activity alive, that affiliation is what matters. I anticipate that artistic place, that activity that you are the aforementioned as the tree, the aforementioned activity that fabricated this anthology makes trees. That's what you know. To be in that place, it's awfully arresting for bodies about me sometimes. A acquainted actuality can't be blackmailed into anything, emotionally or otherwise. Or sometimes, it takes you ages to do article and afresh you aloof let it go anyway. It doesn't absolutely amount in the admirable arrangement of things. Already you've let go of anything, you absolutely apperceive that it is appealing meaningless. They say, "Radio is activity to comedy your record!" and you say, "Okay," and you've anon thought, "Well, what does that mean?" It agency a lot to somebody that it does beggarly a lot to, but it wouldn't beggarly annihilation to a tree. "We're activity to cut you bottomward and trim you." "Okay."

MR: Nice perspective. And "I Got A Lot" affectionate of touches on that idea. You've got a lot to say, but aback you get to it, you say, "It doesn't matter."

NH: [laughs] Exactly! We can get absolutely absent in the restlessness, we can get swept abroad with it completely, and you apperceive that it doesn't beggarly anything, really. If you aloof sit bottomward and abutting your eyes and breathe, about a minute later, it would all absolutely beggarly nothing. It would aloof evaporate. You've got yourself in a agitation for nothing.

MR: Let's booty that to a college concept. I anticipate that's how a lot of bodies are allotment to accord with the accompaniment of our political apple appropriate now. It's like accepting to delay out this appearance because the Apple is consistently activity to win.

NH: Exactly. We apperceive that it aloof seems to be the UK and America that are activity a bit...

MR: ...daffy? Accepting a afraid breakdown?

NH: I mean, France isn't activity that way. If we were accepting this chat in France, we'd be absolute blessed with what's activity on. It aloof seems to be the UK and America that accept gone right-wing.

MR: I aloof ambition we had been smarter with our votes, strategically application them as against to throwing them away, but whatever. So aback to Woodland Echoes. What's absolutely candied is that every song array of curtains into the abutting song. I brainstorm the arrangement was important to you for this one, because you are communicating one thing—"I'm in adulation with aggregate I see."

NH: Well, yeah. "Mountaintop" has its roots in suffering. Aback I went over to almanac with my acquaintance Ian in Key West, he congenital this houseboat, put a allowance in there and said, "Let's do some recording." I thought, "Where do I start? I've got bags of song account that I've been singing into my phone." They acclimated to go on cassettes, afresh I got bags of cassettes, and they'd go into lockup. Afresh you've got endless on your adamantine drive, and afresh you've got endless on the phone. I handed him my buzz and said, "Ian, you aces something." We circling bottomward and he said, "Oh, 'Mountaintop,' what's that?" I'd aloof articulate into my phone, "I'm in adulation on a mountaintop."

MR: What’s the song’s origin?

NH: The roots of that were in grief. In aboriginal 2000, my parents both got emphysema. They were absolutely abutting and they died absolutely abutting to anniversary other. It was a absolutely sad time for the family. Aback they died, I was award it absolutely difficult to grieve. I didn't apperceive why I wasn't grieving. I was absolutely alleviative it a bit too spiritually. "It's an account to be at my mom's death," affectionate of thing. I accept the accuracy central was, "No, it's not an honor. You're heartbroken, but you're aloof not cogent it." It was like actuality dumbstruck. I bought Goodbye, Mr. Chips, the Robert Donat version, in 2008. I busy it and was sitting on my own, which is addition acumen for actuality able to accurate myself. I had my activation aback I was on my own. You never accept these things aback you're about people. It's in the base of confinement that you accept this abysmal connection. Actuality I was in bed watching Goodbye, Mr. Chips and I aloof absent it at every arena almost. I was absolutely accident it. I was in tears, floods of tears throughout the film—especially during the mountaintop arena area they aback fell in love. He'd never absolutely been in adulation and had that abysmal affiliation and actuality was this calling. I was accident it the accomplished time, but the acceptable affair was I was crying. I'd gotten ill through afflicted and I didn't apperceive why. I went to the doctor and they said, "It's nothing, you've got nothing, you're fine." I went to a holistic doctor and he said, "You've got suppressed grief." This was the moment to get all that abasement out. The accuracy is, like actuality on a alike and somebody abutting to you saying, "Are you okay? You're avaricious the seat," and you say, "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine," but your anatomy isn't, because it's sweating. Afraid doesn't lie, it's the truth. I was afflicted inwardly but outwardly, I was aloof accepting on with activity and actuality about bodies and befitting up appearances.

MR: Did you assignment with your son Oliver on this project?

NH: If the anthology was a film, Oliver would be the controlling producer. He would accomplish abiding aggregate that was recorded was in place. I'm a messy, artistic person, so he brings it all aback to actuality tidy and organized. It would go to my acquaintance Phil, and afresh Ian Shaw, and afresh it would go off to Chris Sheldon, and Ollie fabricated abiding that aggregate ran smoothly. Alike in the recording process, he's absolutely accessible to assignment with. He's like a bedrock lamp. Aggregate aloof works. He's that guy who knows how to untangle actuality absolutely easily. He was like that as a kid. I anticipate he was two aback he was charwoman my Portastudio and alive how it works. I didn't alike apperceive how to about-face it on. He's brilliant. He's a key man in this and he's great. He's a full-fledged, able complete architect now.

MR: My admired abstraction that you present on the anthology is on "Beautiful Morning." I've never heard it put like this, but I accept absolutely what you're talking about aback you say, "It's a admirable morning actuality tonight."

NH: [laughs] I'm animated you're accepting all this stuff! Aback I was accomplishing it, sometimes I would address endless of complicated actuality and I'd debris it all and go aback to the aboriginal thing. It's absolutely aloof a simple affair aback you go, "Well, the night doesn't end for me. This is the morning for me. I alive in the morning, the sun was advancing up, it was still accepting light, but it was still the night." Aback is the abutting day?

MR: And there's that activation we feel at night, we apperceive it’s a new phase, and it affects us differently. Abounding artistic artists do their best assignment in the absolute backward hours.

NH: Four times, I recorded it with altered music, altered everything, aloof to get the aspect of the morning advance gradually, aloof actuality there. The “bird” song is my buzz out the window, and it was a admirable Spring morning aback I'd ashore the buzz on the windowsill. We were active at a abode alleged Cardinal One/The Rise. I absolutely admired it because it was a little cottage in a little valley. I was application the accurate faculty of it actuality a admirable morning to deathwatch up but there was additionally the aeon of it. It was a admirable morning aback I woke up, that was area time stopped. I started the anthology with time and it doesn't stop at the alpha of "Love Is The Key By The Sea." Time, manmade time, boring dissolves into the music. Afresh for the blow of the album, there isn't any time. It's a array of around-the-clock realm. I acquainted like this was a adulation story, really. A accepted adulation story. A affiliation of attributes in the middle, in the backwoods of love. That's area he avalanche in love. Through it, I feel like I'm altered creatures—a cuckoo in the beginning, a bluebird in the middle, an hawkeye soaring, afresh activity attractive through the stars, an owl. You're abounding kinds of altered creatures throughout the album.

MR: Nick, "New Beginning" is a lyric-less song. You recorded a articulate area on there, but there are no words.

NH: No words can accurate a new beginning. Afresh it ends up aback by the sea with "For Always."

MR: Usually, I allege artists of creating albums that appear calm as a abounding circle, ancient actuality a abstraction album. I chock-full accomplishing that for a while, but now, sir, j'accuse!

NH: [laughs] That's the artistic process, Mike. I was aloof accomplishing it, and alike the artistic activity of advancing up with a title, it was consistently there, but then, "Ah, it's ‘Woodland Echoes’. Of advance it's ‘Woodland Echoes.’" Afresh aback you're accumulation it, you're thinking, "How's all this activity to work?" and afresh the abutting day, you get perspective. You angle aback a bit and the active adjustment aloof starts to run itself. You can't force it. Every time you try to force something, it aloof says, "No. Let go. Angle back," and you say, "Ah, that's what it is." At first, I capital twenty songs to be the anthology because that's what I'd recorded. There's an artisan saying, "Right, you appetite aggregate that you've done on there," and afresh the editor for that says, "No, no." The editor is the best artistic thing, I think. Like if you're autograph a novel, I would imagine. The artistic editor central Ian McEwan is a genius, what he doesn't say, but credibility to.

MR: I followed your career aback Haircut 100. One of my admired videos was "Love Additional One." That kid on the vine, the abandon that was bidding by that kid, I anticipate it was a anticipation of yourself in the future. There isn't abundant aberration amid that kid and the guy in the "Baby Blue Sky" video in 2017, is there.

NH: [laughs] I apperceive what you mean! Yeah, yeah. That's the time that's round, isn't it? We anticipate that there’s endless of time because we age, but there's that added thing, area you're consistently accomplishing the aforementioned thing. I've got a timberline in the garden that is abounding with trumpet vine, and I feel like that's the braiding I'm accepted on. It's so admirable because it attracts all the hummingbirds with this admirable orange flower, and at the aforementioned time, it's beheading the timberline and digging up all the roots of the added things. I feel like that's it, too. It's not aloof duality this is activity on in nature. It's a absolutely accustomed affair to be this admirable yet annihilative thing.

MR: Maybe accepting that in your backyard is nature's wink, accumulation your “roots” with a lesson?

NH: Yes. Additionally digging out the roots of the botheration because that's activity to admonition the timberline to not get deadened and flourish.

MR: Nick Heyward, what admonition do you accept for new artists?

NH: Continue. One affair leads to another, apperceive that and apperceive that if you are activity through hell, accumulate going. That's the Winston Churchill thing. Aloof accumulate going, you've got to. Any affectionate of creativity, aloof about-face up. Aloof sit bottomward and do it. One affair does advance to another. That applesauce affair you do could advance to addition applesauce thing, and afresh as anon as you think, "Oh I'm crap," an amazing affair comes in. You've aloof got to accumulate going. You accept to accumulate going. It's aback you accord up that you get what you want. It's like analytic for your keys. "I can't acquisition them. That's it. They've gone. Oh, there they are." There's consistently that Doubting Thomas in all adolescent artists, so I would say, aloof accumulate going. What can you do? This is what you're doing. Accumulate going.

MR: Beautiful. I aloof appetite you to apperceive From Sunday To Monday is one of my admired albums. I can sing you every bandage from it.

MR: I had the affiche to that anthology in my appointment for years. I'm so apologetic your almanac aggregation at the time had no abstraction what to do with such a abundant project.

NH: I bethink actuality in LA and K-Rock was arena "How Do You Animate Afterwards Sunshine?" every day. Afresh the almanac aggregation said, "Oh, appear back, do addition album," and I was going, "Hold on!" I aloof thought, "That's activity to be the abutting single, isn't it, if K-Rock is arena it all the time?" It was on every day. I anticipate they alleged it abundant circling or article like that, it aloof seemed to be on all the time. I anticipation I was activity to bout with Crowded Abode and suddenly, the bout was not on and the bung was pulled. Mike, I still don't apperceive to this day what happened.

MR: That had to be absolutely executive-related. Somebody accomplishing a wrong, bone-headed move at their label. I feel that anthology had alike added abeyant hits on it too, like “Ordinary People” and abnormally "January Man." Alike these days, if I appetite to put on article to adore and get me in a acceptable mood, it's generally From Monday To Sunday.

NH: That fabricated my day, acknowledge you, Mike. It's admirable to get appreciated, it absolutely is. That's addition affair about the admiration of the internet, one of the acceptable things. You get to allotment this actuality and apperceive this stuff. Before, you aloof didn't. On From Monday To Sunday, I bethink accomplishing interviews and bodies affection it but you aloof didn't apperceive what the aftereffect was. Over the years, through the internet, I've had this guy get in blow and he said, "My mom kept arena this song aback I was a kid and I didn't apperceive what it was. It was like this abracadabra song, I alleged it the aeroplane song. Aback I grew up, I thought, 'Who did that song?'" He got in blow on MySpace or article and told me that, and it's such a lovely, accurate story. He said, "I aloof capital to acquaint you it had a bewitched aftereffect on me, that song." It was a admirable moment.

MR: I anticipate that anthology was there at aloof the appropriate time, and it absolutely should accept broken. But conceivably Woodland Echoes could be addition moment for you. It seems like you're absolution this anthology in a time and ambiance area a lot of bodies charge to apprehend its messages.

NH: It is the Trump environment, isn't it. You can't let it get to you. You can't. It'll accompany you down. And you know, like I said, if you go into that bashful place, you apperceive that it's bollocks. It's absolutely meaningless. You're chargeless again.

MR: Sweet, thanks. Nick, acquaint me a little about the PledgeMusic element.

NH: Already the anthology was absolutely finished, we formed with Pledge... to admonition pay for things like me speaking to you, because I've paid promotions. That's the adorableness of it, actuality my own label, Gladsome Hawk. There wasn't any above absorption in this and that's that accomplished affair about continuing to do what you do, one affair arch to another. I accept accepting your own characterization agency is you can do what you like.

MR: You appetite to apprehend a catholic thing? As you were adage that, absolutely a few hawks anesthetized overhead.

NH: That's it! That's the synchronicity appropriate there! That's the abracadabra you get into with new consciousness. I don't alike anticipate you can alarm it "new" consciousness, because that's the accomplished point, isn't it? It's not new or old, it's aloof timeless.

MR: It's aloof alive up. Looks like you've woken up.

NH: I feel like I abide to deathwatch up every day. You can aloof deepen it and deepen it. I've accomplished that you accept to advance it. It's aloof like annihilation else. It's like abode blinds in the window. They accept to be bankrupt and maintained.
