SUMMONER'S TALES...
"A good song defines itself. I think it needs a central metaphor, and therefore, it has to have more than one meaning, it has to have a personal meeting and a more universal meaning that other people can relate to. It should have a certain ambivalence about it, about it's lyrical content. It should be recognizable musically to the ear and yet push people's expectations slightly to the left or right. A lot of things."
