Because I think sometimes when you listen to music the verse might be a bit boring and you sit there and wait for the chorus to happen, and when I hear that I always think it's a shame that the songwriter didn't think of the verse also as a hook.
I think there's always a very often melody from the verse that you can remember and the choruses are very catchy as well, and I think that's just something that is very valuable to explore. Yeah, Porcupine Tree was a big band for me like when I established a music taste and I think one of the things I really like about them is how they try to make everything catchy sounding. So, it started out with the drums and then guitars, and I sometimes play the drums also now but it's mostly just for fun at parties and stuff. And yeah, I got some idols like James Hetfield for example, who was also a big inspiration in terms of being like a front man in a band instead of being behind the drums. So, I started to play a lot of guitar, first by myself and then eventually in Vola as the band emerged but yeah, I've spent many hours playing, trying to play ‘Master of Puppets’, the tap book all the way through and Dream Theater, which was often too difficult (laughter). So, it felt more natural to be a guitar player and a vocalist instead of a drummer and vocalist. But at some point, I realized that I also wanted to sing and it just felt more to play like an instrument that you can play chords on while singing. I attended some classes where you sort of rotate on all instruments and I found out that I liked the drums the most, so I actually started out playing a lot of drums. I started out attending a music school in my hometown when I was… I don't know how old I was, maybe seven or something.
