No matter how senior you get in an organization, no matter how well you're perceived to be doing, your job is never done.

I'd think the house was the source of great sadness or pressure. I knew it wasn't. I knew it was just where I lived. But I'd walk up the stairs and the second floor was just desolate. My old bedroom: empty. My old rehearsal room: empty. First floor studio: messy and empty. Middle room: broken gear everywhere.
With 'Under the Pressure,' I just found two chords I liked, and built it up, did like a ten-minute drum pattern.
