I think we just work at telling our stories through music. He also considers himself a writer, a story teller and an artist. He changes his band, his sound, his style, his producers from record to record to tour to tour. He’s made different sounding records over his entire career. I don’t think he is restricted by one music style. I think Bruce Springsteen would be the artist I feel most closely resembles what Sara and I are trying to create. I appreciate so much that you take the time to read these. Is there a band out there that you feel the same way about? You keep getting better and have yet to reach your peak, even after all these years. I’ve been a fan for quite a while, and I’ve come to realize the reason that you’re my favorite band is because you keep reinventing yourselves. I feel very excited by our career and inspired by music so I think we’ve got a few years left! Don’t worry! But I still love the road and making music so much. I miss my family and friends and the normal life stuff more than I did in my 20′s. There is a desire to settle that just happens in your 30′s. So I think as long as the project continues to grow and evolve and be successful we will continue to do it. But we love making music, we love touring and we love connecting with fans. I don’t know if we’ll continue to work SO hard in the future. I think we have a few left in us for sure. It’s our goal to visit your side of the world more! Promise. We’d LOVE to come to Ireland on this record. Good luck with the rest of your Heartthrob tour, unfortunately I won’t be seeing you guys since I’m from Ireland and nobody comes to Ireland! Ha! How many more records do you think you have left in you? I’d always be excited to hear more.

You and Sara have been making (fantastic) music for longer than most ‘mainstream’ artists even last in the music industry, which is a credit to you guys. Perhaps start with showing your feelings or thoughts through another medium? As a writer who is so open and vulnerable in my music, I have always felt like I don’t need to always say everything that I am going through or dealing with. But I think we’ve found a way to be close and yet still give each other space to be ourselves when we’re together. I’m well into my 30′s now and feel that I’ve created a whole different relationship with my family since becoming an adult. As I got older I felt a desire to get closer to them both. There is a natural desire to have your own secrets, stories and individuality. When I was a teenager I kept a lot to myself. I’m wondering how you handle your mum and sister knowing such intimate thoughts? Do you think you were raised to be open, or is it something you’ve learned over the years? I would love to be closer to my family, but it seems so strange to start talking about personal matters after years of taking about the weather. Maybe I’m from a particularly dysfunctional family, but I’m impressed with how open you can be with the lyrics of your songs. It’s a great way to challenge ourselves and I find we always end up learning something new each time we work with someone new.

If we dig the tracks we tend to be up to doing some extra work on the side. We like dance music and love working with producers in different genres. With The Tiesto track we did it was a complete collaboration between both of us. But often for those types of collaborations we tend to tackle the songs individually.

That particular collaboration was just Sara and Morgan Page. Who wrote the song “Video” for the collaboration with Morgan Page on his album In The Air? How do the collaborations you’ve been involved with come about? What impacts your decision to do them?
