0:05:43 > 0:05:45- I'm not going overboard.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- We're pissed off - our names aren't on the T-shirts.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- We're underground. - It's cooler to be underrated.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- The drummer was on amphetamines.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- He was just playing on his own.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- I was just playing on my own too.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- It was hopeless. - That was the first band.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- After the rock phase, - I shaved my hair.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Then it was techno.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- But I still really felt that - I wanted to continue with music.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- What I like is, I'm a bass junky.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49- I want to do that.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- I was a bassist and a guitarist - and a frontman.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- We had a drummer, Dave.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21- Tai chi from China.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- People think it's hippy-dippy.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- Every atom of the body - requires oxygen.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36- There's a scientific way - of explaining meditation.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- It's about moving in time - with your breathing.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Meditation - is about clearing the mind.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- Look at these clouds.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16- The clouds are like your worries.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29- "Everything's a shambles."
0:29:29 > 0:29:34- Just let all those things pass - like a cloud in the sky.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- That's the aim with meditation.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46- I've always had - a wall of thoughts in my mind.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- When I had a nervous breakdown...
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- ..I was following it, - not letting it pass.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- "My life is crap - and I've fucked it up."
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- I followed that cloud...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- ..and all I thought about - that day...
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- ..stayed in the same tone or chord.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25- That's me explaining - the bad thoughts in music terms.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- That's my way of explaining it.

0:30:36 > 0:30:41- I've been interested in mindfulness - and mental health...

0:30:58 > 0:31:00- ..I've concluded they don't work...
0:31:01 > 0:31:07- ..they just brush - the problems under a mat, or bed.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- The problems increase - and there are after-effects.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- They make people worse.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- In my opinion, - it shouldn't be seen as an illness.
0:31:20 > 0:31:26- It's normal after losing a child - or being in an accident...
0:31:26 > 0:31:31- ..to feel sad or depressed - and be unable to concentrate.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36- They call it psychosis because - you focus so much on the problems.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37- The trauma.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- It's not madness - to have these feelings...
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- ..after something awful's happened.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Tai chi or mindfulness. - There's no right way.

0:32:09 > 0:32:14- ..with complex emotional events - going on in my family.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19- It was natural for me - to be a bit fucked up.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27- I'm coping much better - than even a year ago...
