And I'm doing the orchestra because I, as the last one, I liked the idea of pulling orchestra in with rock band.

And it keeps taking me back to George Martin.

It's like, who are your biggest influences for orchestra?

It's like, well, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Bernard Herrmann, George Martin.

And it's still, those Beatles songs are engraved in my mind.

And specifically, the first use, really inventive use of orchestra with rock.

Yeah.

You listen to I Am the Walrus, Day in the Life.

These songs, Eleanor Rigby, you know, you're hearing some beautiful orchestration.

But on the other hand, on I Am the Walrus, the string arrangement is amazing.

I mean... Again, this is my own projection.

I always felt like an outsider being looked at like a freak.

And...

That's why these last few years have been so startling for me, you know.

And that's why I was so surprised to get your call.

You know, I still, internally, I feel like a freak from the freak show.

You know, like, I feel a little bit like Elephant Man being brought into, like, the world.

Well, thank you.

I don't know even if I have a vision, but I know that... Okay, let's play this game.

Oh, well, I can be, but I try not to let that come out in the music.
