“It's music that is made to be listened to, not just heard. And it's got to be natural. Someone like Nick Drake is a classic example. You almost fall in love with his sound because you feel he's not doing it for you. He's not even doing it for himself. It's something that just happens and even he doesn't know how to control it.”
