"But when I'd take most any director aside and ask him to sit down with me, he'd look at me as if I were crazy. He'd say, 'I've never sat down with a cameraman to talk about these things. What do you mean? You just pump a lot of light in!' I'd say 'You don't 'pump' light into a scene. That light has to tell something. There's a meaning, and it establishes a mood.'

James 2008 - Tim Booth

Ποτέ δεν μπόρεσα να καταλάβω πώς ένας μοντέρνος χορευτής, ιδιόρυθμος ηθοποιός ξεσήκωσε τα εφηβικά μου όνειρα, φώλιασε στις απόκρυφες σκέψεις και επιθυμίες μου, τραγούδησε τα συναισθήματά μου..κέρδισε τα πρώτα riffs στις μουσικές χορδές μου, σιγοψιθύρισε σκόπους αναζήτησης στα βήματά μου...μου έριξε φως στις σκοτεινές πλευρές του έρωτα και κάθισε σαν αγκάθι στα συναισθήματά μου..κάτι που δεν με εγκαταλείπει όπως κάθε δάκρυ πόνου ή αγάπης που έχουμε μέσα μας όταν δεν το έχουμε δεχτεί.

Στα χρόνια της εφηβείας μας στο σχολείο ακούσαμε πρώτη φορά το " So many ways " και το μουσικό ταξίδι μόλις είχε αρχίσει..Πιστεύετε ότι τ...
