The Radiohead stuff has to be worn lightly if you're going to make connections with people.

I'm interested in that.

I don't know, I'm interested in people.

Yeah, I mean, it's the process of it.

It's interesting because I'm no longer hiding.

I mean, it's that thing.

And why was I, you have to ask, well, why was I hiding?

Well, I was hiding because I had huge lack of self-worth, you know.

And by the way, you know, we were all responsible for the sound.

It's really lovely of you to say that.

I mean, I definitely played a part in that, but it was a collective thing.

But I didn't feel comfortable being front and center and I...

I guess I was always hiding.

And I think that thing that started in my childhood in that sort of quite scary environment as a child, you know, is if you don't put your head above the parapet, you're not going to get hurt.

But what's so amazing about all of this, I mean, I essentially say that the healing journey is a journey of truth, right?

And the truth sets you free.

So what I've found on this whole process, so, you know, like the previous record I did solo, I was wracked with like, can I do this?

But I was deeply uncomfortable being that person on point.

So what do I do?

I go out under my initials EOB.
