about

“Songwriting is about flexing a muscle enough times to zero success that eventually, you accidentally lift a car when you’re not paying attention,” says Mangan. “Every great songwriter is a thief of their own subconscious - maybe a melody from their childhood seeps out, or a phrase from a sandwich board a decade ago. When you’re young, you learn covers because it makes you feel connected to the swirling tornado of music that you so long to be a part of. As an adult, it’s a matter of sanity. I get sick of the same taste in my mouth and I need to sing someone else’s song to cleanse my palate. My approach is that it’s nearly impossible to do a great song justice, and so I need to change it enough from its original form that it can no longer be compared to the source.”
