"My last album was called Stars and this one is called Life. So there's that connection there, a kind of universalism. The closest philosophy I can think of that gets near to it is Buddhism, in the sense of looking at a grain of sand and seeing how that grain of sand can become the sun and how it's connected in the universe. There's no dividing line between anything, it's all connected. And that's the notion of both the albums. I remember when I was doing interviews for Stars and they said why are you calling it Stars and I said, "Up there is our future, our past, our present, our life."
