Something New Every Time
Lawrence Gowan of Styx
Lawrence Gowan of Styx: You get asked quite often, “Do you ever get bored with playing some of these songs, because you play them every night?” And we don't.
Part of the reason we don't is that every day, it's a brand-new thing. It's a brand-new way that things have happened in this 24 hours that we're living in right now. Some nuance of experience will come into the delivery of “Come Sail Away” or “Renegade.”
That is part of the great experience of it. I liken it to looking at your favorite painting. There's no finite number of times you can look at it and say, “Well, that's it. I've seen it 10,000 times.”
You get something new from it every time because it resonates with you.
