-Rivers Addicted To Noise Magazine: What's an example of a song on the first album took on a whole different meaning when it was played heavily on MTV, etcetera? Cuomo: Well, "Buddy Holly" for one. It was supposed to sound like a super pop hit and instead it became a super pop hit. And that's kind of annoying when you have to hear it all the time. And when you hear 7-year-old kids singing it, it takes on a totally different meaning, when it was written in the context of 20-something L.A. hipster type of audience. Well, essentially all these songs still are just parts of myself. So how they're perceived is kind of irrelevant to what the songs really mean. But really, I'm trying to communicate how I feel so it's important to me to try and do my best to communicate in a way that people can understand. That's part of the reason I'm doing interviews, is so I can steer people in the right direction. Because it's probably really easy to misunderstand what we're doing. [laughs] I'm probably not helping either. |
