i said i'm only looking out for you. she said it's obvious that's a lie.

Interviewer: Who inspires you not only musically but personally? Van: Me best mate Larry. He’s been me best mate since we were kids. He’s been on the road with us since we started. Like when we played on Letterman he’s only just learned how to tune the guitar and he’s doing David Letterman now. I was with him, like mate I’ve only just learned how to sing and you just learned how to tune the guitar. It’s was crazy. So like him.. He inspires me. Whenever I’m writing songs in our kitchen, cause we live together, I’m like what do ya think of this? He’ll say, change that bridge it’s horrible, sing summat positive you sound dead morbid and then I go ok. If I sing something positive, he’ll go you nailed it and he’ll tell me song structures, he doesn’t even know but he writes half the songs cause he’ll tell me where to go and if I sound miserable and if I sound miserable, he’ll pick me up. He got run over when we were younger, he nearly died and ever since then he always lives life like positive, he says yes to everything. When he came out of that he was just like “why not?” Interviewer : That’s a great way to live life. Van: It’s why he inspires me.
