Well, I believe that everything that I do, the through line is storytelling. So whether I'm using words or whether I'm using music, whether I'm creating the music or interpreting the music, I believe that we should be taken on a journey and there should be that sense of, you know, I mean, even abstract storytelling, even if I don't have a specific program in mind that I've created for myself. We should be experiencing a mood or a series of moods or something that is going to speak to us, the listener. And obviously it has to speak to me before I can try to translate that to the listener. I think that that is definitely the through line is just, I want to express ideas or tell a story in some way.
