“When I think about my oldest brother Keith, the first thing I remember is how passionate he was about the music he listened to. Music was always his thing. When he let me listen to ‘Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me’, The Cure immediately became my favorite band. We were really close, and every time he drove me somewhere I’d ask him to put that CD on. I loved it because there’s so much emotion packed into every single song. It just hit’s you like a wave.
Keith Passed away in 1999, he committed suicide. (the song) Disintegration played a big part in getting me through his death. It gave me the ability to be. I know it doesn’t make sense, but it let me just be. I think the song’s about addiction. My brother wasn’t an addict or anything, his suicide was just so unexpected, and there’s so much energy in that song, so much anger. And I was really angry about it, yeah, it’s been a long time and there’s still a part of me that’s angry.”
