“I'm obsessed with the countryside: woods, forests, fields, lakes, mountains. I'm really into folk music and folklore. But more so I'm into electronic music. I'm into bands that have both aspects, like Boards of Canada is a perfect example. You could listen to that type of music running through a woods. It's kind of what I wanted to achieve.” KindRunningWantedRomancePerfectAchieveExampleFieldsTypeBandMountainAspectFolksWoodsForestsObsessedBoardsCanadaLakesCountrysideFolkloreFolk MusicElectronic MusicWoods And Forests Author:Ellie Goulding
“I was 16 when I came to New York. I had graduated to a tenor banjo in the school jazz band, and it was kind of boring - just chords, chords, chords.

“When I play with the full band, you get to be larger than life, you feel larger than life, and that particular moment in the song where there's passion, you've got nine guys behind you, all driving that sound and that feeling with you.

“I was in a Led Zeppelin cover band in high school, and my highlight was playing "Misty Mountain Hop" at a coffee house in Wayne, Pennsylvania.

“I like all of the typical hard rock bands. I'm an AC/DC fanatic. I love ZZ Top, just about any Van Halen, any Judas Priest, the list goes on and on, most of the Iron Maiden stuff.

That kind of stuff is where I get my feel from.” FeelsKindHardBigsStuffRocksGrewGoes OnBandMountainGrew UpHumbleListsIronPriestsPieTypicalVansFanaticsMaidensRock BandsJudasVan HalenHard RockIron MaidenHumble PieJudas Priest Author:Mark Mendoza
