6/19/2023 0 Comments Give it to me lyrics homeshakeI never really made music for any reason other than to do it itself. LS: One word to describe how it feels to share something so personal with people around the world? Well when I write a song it’s usually to get something out that’s been bothering me or something. LS: Of all the lyrics that you’ve written, what’s the one that still speaks to your soul when you sing it? I make an instrumental and I don’t think about it again until I go in to record it. PS: I usually do it all at night and I do try to regimen time for it. LS: What does your writing process look like? Do you dedicate time to focus or do you drop what you’re doing wherever to write? ![]() Yeah you think it’s going to happen, but it doesn’t happen. You’re just tired and you feel like crap while you’re driving around. Sometimes you bring something, like a little synth, it’s not possible. PS: No, it’s impossible! You think it’s possible. I just sat down and forced myself to write a song every night for three or four months, so a lot of work I think inspired me to make it a little cleaner. LS: I’ve listened to your other albums and each one sounds a bit different than the last. I just hope someone takes something positive away from it. PS: I’d like for it to be like, “be a good person and look out for your friends”, but it’s pretty much all about either being sad or songs about my partner. LS: You write music for personal reasons, but is there a message meant for your listeners? I don’t think it would be a very nice painting. PS: It’d probably be a lot of the color blue and it wouldn’t be very good. LS: If your music were a painting what would it look like? It looks pretty clean! It looks like the room with all my stuff in it! PS: I guess the place I grew up in – my parents left before I did, so it’s really not home anymore. LS: What does home look/sound like for you? One night we went to a place that was all like mineral baths and stuff in the North! Both times Salina came and we did a week of shows and a week of just looking around. PS: I have some nice memories of going to Japan. LS: What’s one memory that always makes you smile on a bad day? PS: Lately I’ve been singing ‘You’re Not The Man’ by Sade. LS: What’s your favorite thing to do on a day with no obligations? LS: Ok so what would you like to tell your fans about yourself? I don’t know what anybody thinks of me so I don’t know what would surprise or make sense to them. PS: I didn’t realize that the dressing came on the side of my salad and I’ve been eating a dry salad wondering why it wasn’t dressed. LS: Something people would be surprised to know about you? PS: Yeah exactly! Uhh maybe science, doing something useful. LS: So you could cook food really late at night? My partner Salina, she’s a really good cook! I kind of just help her. PS: It would be cool to be a really good cook. LS: If you could be the slightest bit talented in any other art form, what would it be? It’s kind of all over the place, electronic music. LS: What was the last CD or record you bought? LS: Artist you’d love to perform with/write a song with? I was a much better piano player when I was fourteen. My parents put me in piano lessons when I was really young. PS: I feel like Thelonius Monk, but that’s maybe just the earliest one I can remember. LS: First piece of music you heard that really inspired you? Peter Sagar (PS): Uhh eating really late at night. ![]() Lexi Scott (LS): What’s your guilty pleasure? Having already toured the world, this underground band’s approach to music leaves its audience in a trance. Unphased by what we Southerners call a chilly night, Sagar enjoyed a grilled cheese and salad across the table! Sagar’s personality seemed to match the sound of his latest album - easy going, relatable, and candid. He walks towards me in an oversized yellow sweatshirt and we head outside to start the interview. Not too long after my arrival comes Sagar from a tiny hallway leading into the venue. I sat down with lead vocalist Peter Sagar to talk about what aspects of his personal life inspire the musical process.Īs I enter The Earl, I was instantly met with a small crowd of leather-dressed regulars and plumes of cigarette smoke. Tuning into influences like Sade, The Band, Broadcast, Prince, and Angelo Badalamenti, the tone of Homeshake’s latest album reflects its title, Fresh Air. T’s not often that synthesized music proves itself beyond Soundcloud, but Homeshake’s dreamy R&B sound is catching waves around the world.
