He's joking - for the most part. I don't remember a lot of it.
I don’t even care.”, “Everything in the world is about sex except sex. He's a soulful crooner, an alt-country pin-up, an alchemist who turned heartbreak into a Silver Scroll. And there is a wrong way to do it. This makes sense for listeners, too. And through it all is Marlon Williams and his blessed voice. He describes the process of writing and recording the album as a therapy and an exorcism and, ultimately a confrontation not with Harding, but with himself. “In typical Christchurch circles, that’s how you approach someone.” But, unlike some of his friends, he loved the school, with its rules and its traditions. It's a really uncomfortable thing for me. I'm talking about the most basic practical things, like is it safe to book a flight for 6am after a big show? hinted at a disintegrating relationship but obscured any literal interpretations in a metaphorical haze.
You are thinking instead of some past heartbreak of your own.
Its eleven songs of country, folk, heartbroken early-rock n roll, and lightly-experimental traditional pop are the shattered remains of a break-up.
. Again though, he says it wasn't a conscious choice. He founded The Unfaithful Ways at 17 with his high school friends and their science teacher, and quickly gained national attention, playing Big Day Out, touring with Justin Townes Earle, and picking up a Critics Choice award nomination at the 2011 New Zealand Music Awards. I really don't know.". For the same reason I respected her decision not to talk about it, I knew that she might be pissed off by the fact that I’m talking about it.
But looking back, that period is a bit of a black hole when it comes to self-evaluation, I still don't know how it impacted on my songwriting. Not only does he have more nominations than any other contender (Unknown Mortal Orchestra follow with four), they're all big ones: Album Of The Year, Single Of The Year, Best Male Solo Artist, Breakthrough Artist and Best Alternative Album. The road tunnel from Christchurch became so scary Lyttelton was isolated from everywhere, leaving the tiny community with little choice but to pull together to party heroically. His name was passed to Bridget Ikin, producer of the Alison Maclean-directed film The Rehearsal, as someone worth a look. Because I like playing basketball regardless of what everyone else likes.”).
But people like Al Parks knew he had outgrown Lyttelton. "But I also know a lot of writers who get up at 9am and will write three songs by lunchtime - that seems like a far less damaging way of doing it all.".
That's part of the awful nature of what you do as a songwriter, I guess. So once I got that sussed it was much easier. That's why songs are never static. “These things just happen and there’s just the most tragic inevitability to those stories. He has the effortless range and perfect breadth of someone both naturally gifted and formally taught. “I’ve got a better sense of my own sexuality,” he said when asked what he’s learnt from the experience. If you're moved by a song about the sad end to a relationship, it's probably because it resonates with your own personal history. Since releasing his debut – he’d had already made albums with The Unfaithful Ways and as a duo with Delaney Davidson – Williams had toured extensively in the US and Europe, playing hundreds of shows but over a nearly two year period had written nothing more than two “sort of half-assed” songs. "You'd think so, but no. He has the effortless range and perfect breadth of someone both naturally gifted and formally taught.
"That's very true. Country eh? I had all the songs and the arrangements, loosely, but I totally expected him to sort it out and then he didn’t. But it was easy to speculate that the “perfect man” Harding really wanted back again in ‘Blend’ and the wounded babe she scolds in ‘Horizon’ (“I’m showing that person two things; their life, and their life with me. Join Facebook to connect with Marlon Williams and others you may know. There is part of me that really liked the order," Williams says. He was only 16 and he'd turned up for this Beatles tribute show at my bar. “There’s no distinction between the musical world and our private relationship. He sang with Nelson, as well as Matthew McConaughey and Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons. And Williams?
As a teenager, it was nice having those rules. This cultural millieu began with his naming.
She literally made [, ] while I was in the middle of panicking about my own music, and she was like, ‘I’ve made this record and it’s pretty good. We don’t really know anything. In the same way God is.”, is a classic break-up album, like Bob Dylan’s, (also about a relationship with another musician). I need to know that if I don’t have these songs done, I’m going to be wasting thousands and thousands of dollars. I hate that bullshit about, like, ‘How could he have written those songs, you’re too young to have lived through that.’ Fucking Hank Williams was dead by the time he was 30, so it’s bullshit that it has to be forged through life lessons.
Williams split from long-term girlfriend - and fellow Lyttelton musician - Aldous (Hannah) Harding at the end of 2016. Friend and ex-choir companion Ben Woolley is on bass and backing vocals, and recently relocated to Melbourne to play properly in Marlon’s band The Yarra Benders. Which is terrible. Boxers, singlet and socks, black curtains, a row of candles burning at his head.
Marlon Williams' self-titled album is out now; he has a newly announced show at the powerstation on March 9, 2016. the NZ Music Awards are on November 19. That was my starting point and, by the time I found out about all that other stuff, it really didn't figure in the equation.". It’s an album of impeccable craft, but it’s low on emotional stakes.

Marlon sings an on-screen duet alongside American country singer Brandi Carlile, and Cooper later testified to his acting chops and declared Williams a "rock star". The camera zooms in as he sings about sneaking in your window, and Williams makes alarming little chewing, licking motions with his lips, like Hannibal Lecter in Silence of The Lambs.
Williams found music early in life, joining the school choir when he was 10 as a way to avoid science class.
