Coley Kennedy of Welcome to Ashley and The Buddies fame just released his solo debut "Neptune Blue" and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the single "(We Are) Born to Lose". Here is the story: Words and Music by Coley Kennedy - Guitars by Pete Javier. My lyrics are about loved ones and lovers, hopes and dreams, sunshine and intoxication.
When I write, I daydream. Vignettes play out as colors in my head. There's an absolute setting; a mood; characters and landscapes. I don't force it, or necessarily create it. There is no intention. I let it grow and unfold as it will. Then I write what I see, and what I, or my character(s), feel. Because my words are personal - a marriage of hard truth and dreamy fiction - I believe there's a mysteriousness to them. I'm a student of R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and Echo and the Bunnymen's Ian McCulloch and Richard Butler from Psychedelic Furs and Bernard Sumner from New Order. I never can quite grasp exactly what their words mean but their words and their phrasings have always been like candy to me. (continue)
