Mark Lanegan looking for the ‘zen’ inspiration (Portalternativo)
Mark Lanegan ha explicado al Adelaide Now que su nuevo disco en solitario, “Blues Funeral”, existe gracias a Alain Johannes.
“Siempre supe que cuando hiciera otro álbum tendría que ser con él. Tocamos juntos en Queens Of The Stone Age. Más que con nadie que haya trabajado antes, él puede hacer que ocurra y aporta tanto entusiasmo, eficiencia y creatividad. Si Dios quiere, haré muchos más discos con él.”
“Compongo la canción, se la muestro y le describo los elementos que me gustaría que tuviera y él, inevitablemente, aporta un montón más de cosas,” se maravilla el ex-frontman de Screaming Trees. “Este disco es 50% él y yo.”
De su forma de componer asegura que “por encima de todo, trato de componer una canción que me gustaría escuchar y que disfrutara si estuviera escuchando música y que también disfrute tocando en directo.”
El vocalista sueña despierto: “Me gustaría componer con Brian Eno – probablemente no pasaría pero todo es posible. Es un genio zen.”
Lanegan se confiesa como “una persona no demasiado religiosa pero crecí escuchando mucho gospel y blues. Mis parientes lejanos eran fanáticos religiosos así que se ha convertido en parte de lo que hago.”
Algo que hace aunque menos de lo que le gustaría es leer. “Probablemente leo menos porque mi vista está empeorando con los años,” indica, a sus 47 años. “Pero me gusta leer libros como ‘The Fatal Shore’, la historia de Australia; es un gran libro de Robert Hughes.”
Los años han hecho de Lanegan un tipo mucho más tranquilo, lo que le hace capaz de escribir letras como las de “The Gravedigger’s Song”. “Cuando era más joven y me di cuenta de lo que era morir, me asusté. Ahora, pensar en dormir para siempre no me parece tan mal.”

Mark Lanegan has explained to the Adelaide Now that his new solo album, “Funeral Blues”, exists thanks to Alain Johannes.
“I always knew that when he made another album it would have to be with him.” We played together in Queens Of The Stone Age. More than with anyone that has worked before, he can make that you happen and brings both excitement, efficiency and creativity. “If God wills it, I will make many more albums with him.”
“I compose the song, her show and describe you the elements that I like to have and he, inevitably, brings one lot of things,” the former Screaming Trees frontman marvels. “This album is 50% he and I.”
His way of composing ensures that “above all, try to compose a song that I like to listen to and enjoy if you were listening to music and also enjoy playing live.”
Vocalist daydreams: “I like to compose with Brian Eno – probably would not happen but anything is possible.” “It’s a zen genius.”
Lanegan confesses as “a non-too-religious person but I grew up listening to long gospel and blues.” “My distant relatives were fanatical religious as well which has become part of what I do.”
Something that makes although less than what you would like to read. “Probably read less because my vista is getting worse over the years,” instructs his 47 years. “But I like to read books like ‘The Fatal Shore’, the story of Australia;” “it’s a great book by Robert Hughes”.
The years have made Lanegan a more quiet type, which makes it able to write letters as the of “The Gravedigger’s Song”. “When I was younger and I realized account of what was dying, I panicked.” “Now, thinking about sleep forever seems to me so badly.”
