New York, USA. -- Dave Gahan's 3rd press release for his anxiously awaited solo album, "Hourglass" has occurred today. The notorious vocalist of the group Depeche Mode, after releasing the preview of the controversial single "Kingdom" in davegahan.com, was asked how did he find the courage to release his next solo album after being immensely cticized by his mother for the explicit content of the lyrics for "Goodbye (She Said)" which expressed how excruciatingly hard to move out of his mother's house last summer.
The vocalist: "I have found refuge in my lyrics as I sought an escape route from the abyss of a sipiritual vertigo I witnessed step-by-step inside me as I waited in my Batman sheets for a goodnight kiss. Keeping in mind, I had referred to conversations with my stuff doll, "that lion ain't gonna get me", and my um-weenie "see that gun right there its mine" in my initial solo album with the lyrics in "Goodbye (She Said)" to narrate my deparure from my mother's sanctuary and her caring arms. "All these, questions, I am finding it hard to say (Chorus) Goodbye" featuring a rap soliloquy of Anton Corbijn, the director of many videos by Depeche Mode, "Thats what SHE said! Yea mamma! Big D. is in the house. Check out the pain and suffering.". '"After my mother passed away, I found the artistic motivation in me to start working on my next solo album. I hope up there, my mother is not disappointed at me for doing something she condemns so much, making music. Actually two things, as I explain in my single Kingdom : "Knocking on the door, Who is there, Its me just trying to come out from this damn clozet".' Dave Gahan then further explains: ""It doesn't feel so much that the band is my identity anymore, although I owe everything to it. I'm starting to really feel that I have my own voice, and it's definitely coming out in the songs. For me, it's the best possible record I could make at this time. And it's gone well beyond what I expected of myself."
Later he confesses "The pressure I felt during my first solo album is water under the bridge. I have fully eradicated any sign of insecurity." Christian Eigner and Andrew Philpott also works with Dave Gahan. Gahan comments on the friendship: "Eigner is a close friend. He is delicate and sensitive. After his divorce, our bond has been strenghtened. We have our own way of sharing things. I actually listen to what he says. The old bitch would never... Oh you can edit that out..."' On Andrew: "He has worked for me in Depeche Mode too.
He is a telneted musician and I respect him as a person." Later, he jokes: " Obviously, we have become good friends. As long as he is not late to work, since I am the boss now. (Laughs) Seriously though, you can't let yourself become too intimate with the workers. It could severely strain the boss-worker relationship. I have found a chocolate bar eaten to its half and left on the studio.
Apart from littering the workplace, he seemed to disregard the fact that he hadn't proposed to share and decided to leave the half deliberately and knowing that I have an absolute desire for chocolate. I am the frontman. I get the chocolate. I get the nice part of the mashed potatoes. I hold the right to drool whenever I want to and can't be scolded or rebuked for. Mommy! Mommy! Where are you!!! I want to be like Marty!! Mommmiieee"
The interview commenced to adjourn after a week as the personal assistant of the vocalist took Gahan away and gave him his stuffed Lion doll.
