We had a hard time agreeing and then I think Randy threw out the idea. We wrote all the songs and had the album nearly mixed while still trying to decide on the album’s title. So I just didn’t know if there was any actual meaning behind it or if you worked toward putting some meaning into the lyrics as you wrote the songs. It’s right up there.ĭAVID COLEMAN: What’s the concept you’re trying to get across with the title Innocence & Danger?ĭAVID COLEMAN: (laughs) I read that it was just something you sang over the top of a part when you were in the creation process. Years down the road when you put it on you get a little more perspective. It’s one of those “time will tell” kind of things, I guess. I’ve read where some people have said one album is the greatest album this guy’s ever made or something and I’ll think “oh really, that’s not the one I’d pick at all.” It’s hard to gauge. Every album is its own animal its own thing. I wrote a lot of stuff in the mornings before everybody showed up.ĭAVID COLEMAN: How do you think this album relates in a head-to-head comparison to previous NMB albums?

I don’t want to sound like I’m a slacker. My answer made it sound like I didn’t write anything on this album or I didn’t contribute. Actually, let me say a little more about the previous question. So it was nice to have those two epic pieces on disc two. And there wasn’t a whole lot of that on disc one. The only thing that we didn’t accomplish that we wanted to accomplish was making a single disc.ĭAVID COLEMAN: Well, I’m very thankful that you didn’t because, for me, I like the long pieces with all the twists and turns. All of the things we wanted to do I think we accomplished. And it makes the album have a little different flavor because of that, which is also great. It left more room it gave more space to the other guys, which is great. But I think this is the first time I brought in nothing in advance. NEAL MORSE: Well, I don’t think I brought in much for The Grand Experiment. How did the writing for this album differ from that of previous Neal Morse Band albums? But especially Bill because he works remotely for Adobe while he’s on tour.ĭAVID COLEMAN: I read that much of the inspiration for the album came from Bill and Randy. We’re ready to kind of wind down and get to sleep because we’ve got a lot of work to do the next day. And so, many times we don’t get on the bus until one in the morning and then we’re ready to chill. NEAL MORSE: Everyone’s kind of amped from the gig and a lot of times we hang out in the green room afterwards.

What could be less rock & roll than Bob Ross and a bowl of Mini-Wheats?ĭAVID COLEMAN: Bob was so mellow. So Bill threw that one out there and I figured it was an inside joke. Bill does that.ĭAVID COLEMAN: Typically when I do these interviews with you I’ll go to the Facebook forum and ask if anyone has any questions they’d like me to ask. NEAL MORSE: Oh, well that would have to be Blueberry Frosted Mini-Wheats. What’s the best breakfast cereal to eat while watching Bob Ross on the tour bus after a show? Glad you liked it.ĭAVID COLEMAN: First, I have to ask an essential question. I think you guys will enjoy the review…hopefully. First of all, I’d like to say that I’m really enjoying the album.ĭAVID COLEMAN: I just finished my album review late yesterday and it posted to the JesusWired website today. How are you doing?ĭAVID COLEMAN: Ahh…pretty good, thank you. I think we've just tried to be really honest about what that darkness feels like and yet make it clear that 'the Light always wins.DAVID COLEMAN: Hello, Neal. We've gone through moments where we felt really close to the Lord, really felt Him at work in our lives, and then very real moments when you feel you re going around in circles and can t find Him at all.

We've had to learn some very difficult lessons about who God is and who we are. Artist 'Alan Powell says this about the new album, "These songs were born out of what we've experienced over the past couple of years, spiritually. The group's infectiously melodic self-titled debut, set for a May 2011 release on Reunion Records, delivers 10 powerful anthems sure to leave a ripple effect long after the CD stops spinning.
