Radio 1 Interview with Scott Mills - January 12th 2000. Scott: "Your next single's got another long title ..." Neil: "Another long title ... 'You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk'." Scott: "Is this from personal experience?" Neil: "(Laughs) Yes it is. I think it's a very British experience." Scott: "Very!" Neil: "And the song's about, if you tell someone you love them when you're drunk, are you saying it because you're drunk, therefore you've lost your inhibitions ..." Scott: "And you mean it." Neil: "Yeah, because you actually mean it, or are you saying it because you're drunk and just trying to (starts laughing) pick someone up? (All laugh). The question isn't answered, but it is asked in the song. It's one of the songs on the new album - I think it sounds quite Country really." Scott: "I've heard talk of a musical as well" Neil: "Yeah, we've written a musical. We've been working on it for about four years now ..." Scott: "Will it be a theatre jobbie?" Neil: "Actually, we may not do it in the theatre, cause of the way it works ...but it yeah, it probably will be a West End thing." Scott: "How did you feel doing the American tour? Were you worried?" Neil: "Yeah, we were a bit apprehensive to what our audience would be like. We have a very, very strong crossover audience there, but actually the response to the album has been fantastic." Scott: "Your gig in New York sold out in 20 minutes?" Neil:: "Yeah! I heard that. It was a really fantastic reaction." Scott: "How do you feel about the state of Pop at the moment, 'cause you like all sorts of music don't you?" Neil: "Oh yeah, I like all sorts of things. Pop's very unfocused at the minute, you know what I mean? I'm a bit bored with the Boyband thing in Britain." Scott: "You think it needs to go in a new direction?" Neil:
"I just think it's very uncreative. You know, I like it when
Pop music's really creative - it's got that industrial formula.
It's just not very exciting." |
