I thought this was an insightful quote from an interview that I read on the Lowercase People website. It's an interview with Mute Math frontman, paul meany, and drummer, darren king, talking with Mae drummer, jacob marshall.





"And sometimes, honestly, it takes seeing something that’s broken to know how to fix it and know how to take steps towards fixing it. Especially within the church. You see how the politics and the finances and the buildings and structure just eats away at the fundamental purpose of what people initially got together for. And you kind of begin to see it like a cancer and that’s funny because the essence of Christianity is Jesus. It comes back to this character, the stories about this person and he kind of set the template. When he spoke to the masses he usually told stories. And he was like the film director of his era you know? He’d get a huge group of people together and tell a story and explain things in metaphors, and basically that’s our job, nowadays. It’s to be the story tellers, the moment makers that allow for this place where people can experience a moment of time that is special, it’s sacred. There is a spiritual element to music that we’re all drawn to." -Jacob Marshall
