It's like you're writing free hand on a piece of paper, and you're not thinking. The most eye-opening part of my entire career is when I'm writing a song, I'm never conscious fully of what I'm singing about, I'm just saying the words as they come out. Reynolds: So, so true, what you're saying right there. Live Concert Tonight On CBS, Paramount+ Will Celebrate ‘Broadway’s Back’ So, are there moments then on the new album that surprised you as a writer? They're pages in a journal for me.īaltin: Taking that to Mercury - Act 1, as a writer, I'm a big believer in writing being subconscious, and it leads you. I've written hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of these songs that are just journal entries. That's been part of my story since I was 12. Even if the band had never gone anywhere, I would have written all these songs, because I need to. It was really all about those core concepts, and it was a cathartic thing for me. And that was the birth of Imagine Dragons. But when you put it into a song it almost feels like you're talking to someone about it, and it was very healing and cathartic for me. And those were not things I was comfortable to talk with anyone else about. And it was my journal, it was a place that felt like a safe zone that I could sing about my feelings, and express how I was feeling. The reason I turned to art was because I was in a spiritual crisis in middle school, and I was really depressed. I definitely think that in my youth Mormonism, my loss of faith in religion, spiritual crisis, dealing with mental health issues, those are all the crux of everything I do with art.
