Character Interview with Brandon Chane
How do you feel about your family, now that you’re an adult?
There’s really no way to romanticize the situation. I’m only close to my sister Rachel. She’s thirteen years younger than me, and I basically had to act as her dad because our real father was completely checked-out. Yeah, my father, who’s pretty much drinking himself to death these days, he acts like he wishes I’d never been born. And my aunt Gail, who’s raising Rachel now, thinks I’m a loser who’ll never do anything more with his life than bus tables.
My anger has taught me a lot of things – thanks to Saul’s help. But it wouldn’t if I cast it out as blame; or if I stuffed it, disguised it, tried to let it go without ever stopping to listen to what it had to say. Among other things, it’s taught me that I deserve better than where I’ve come from.
What do you want from life?
I try not to fall into that trap, the myth of perfection. There’s never that moment when anyone’s ‘made it’, where every question is settled and all growth is accomplished, even though so many people keep chasing that. In our band, we’ve gotten to see a new face of the world every day, to be beholden to no one, to express the deepest movements of our souls in our music night after night. The music’s more important to me than longevity. It’s not the length of life but what you make of the time that matters. I just don’t want to have to decide between the Muse and freedom and just basic human happiness. Can’t you somehow keep your vision intact and yet still enjoy a fulfilling life here?
If you were granted three wishes, what would you ask for?
To succeed in music and to do so completely on our own terms, without compromise. That’s two for me; and for the third, I’ll wish happiness for all the people close to me. See, to really make our mark we’ve gotta be free to express our idealism. In this industry, you’re seriously expected to be cynical and jaded. But I believe in humanity and I believe in myself. If we’re gonna attain fame or monetary reward while betraying our Muse then that’s no better than holding on to our day jobs. You have to be true to your vision at all costs, and trust that it’ll see you through.
What three things would you take to a Desert Island?
My guitar, my notebook, and my cigarettes for those moments in between inspirations.
What, in the outside world, is preventing you from getting it?
Well, my mentor Saul says that we don’t have to figure out the world at all, we just have to know ourselves and perceive our lives as being self-created. Then things start falling into place. Musicians like me hear it all the time, how our chances of “making it” are a million to one. You just have to stop thinking in terms of odds. Success isn’t a roll of the dice to begin with. That’s another thing Saul taught me. You think of the world as your enemy and that’s how you’ll experience it. The belief in demons creates them. And by the same token, the belief that we are the authors of our own lives turns demons into paper tigers.
What, in yourself, is preventing you from getting it?
I started out with this philosophy that my art meant total freedom, no rules. But I was rebelling against repressive restrictions and then turning around and creating a bunch of my own. I need to stop railing against the hate in the world and instead offer up some kind of alternative - find something to love.
When I started writing songs I was depicting a reality that made sense to me. It was, in a sense, a world that was more real to me than my actual surroundings. During the early days of our band, I tried to present my personal story to the world, in the hopes that it might be accepted, become a part of that world. Then I’d no longer have to choose between realities.
What must happen before you overcome this?
Well, this is a simplified way of putting it, but basically Saul has been there to help me identify my limiting and destructive beliefs and the music’s been there as an outlet for feelings that I can’t otherwise deal with. Either way, the best way to overcome obstacles is to expose them to the light of day. Things become a much bigger deal when they’re allowed to linger in the shadows of our minds, growing distorted in the darkness. Drag them out in the open and they’re just thoughts and feelings with no more life than what we invest in them. From there… self-understanding leads to further creativity, which in turn leads to deeper plunges into the unknown. Eventually, maybe, I’ll satisfy Saul’s wish for me and stop thinking of society as the enemy.
In your relationship with others, how are you different with family than you are with friends? Why?
I’ve been pretty solitary overall – a recluse. Saul has described me as misanthrope, because I’ve seen myself as this sort of visionary who’s set apart from humanity, who is on a special spiritual mission. From that idea, it would naturally follow that no one could ever really understand me. That includes family, friends, my counselor, my bandmates and even my girlfriend. That’s one of the things I’ve been trying to work through, shedding that belief.
How do you fall in love? At first sight? Over a long period?
I’m wary at first, so if I think I’m falling in love quick it’s probably a fantasy, ‘cause there’s no way I could even know a person – or let them know me – that fast. There were times, even after we’d been dating for a while, where I felt like I had to drive Janie away before she rejected me, before she realized that I was this ‘alien being’ who had no real place in the world. Basically, no one had ever touched me like she had, and that scared me.
What parts of loving come easy for you? Hard?
I do think I’m a sensitive soul, so the easy part of love is the compassion, the empathy. Hell, I even feel love for my father, who’s done next to nothing to earn it. But I also got to viewing my whole reality from the standpoint of being the ‘wounded and gifted’ artist, which meant that I was exaggerating everything that set me apart from others and turning a blind eye to what I had in common with them. Obviously it’s hard to express love in concrete ways when you hold yourself aloof – at least in your own mind - like that.
How do you decide if you can trust someone? Experience with others? with this person? First impressions? Intuition? Do you test the person somehow? Or are you just generally disposed to trust or not to trust?
Well, the person who I’ve felt the most trusting of, and for the longest time, is Tommy. And our friendship started out pretty thorny, so I guess I’d have to say that I warm up to trust slowly. Once we started playing he continually encouraged me to channel my feelings into the music. That wasn’t easy to do at first. I’d trained myself to disguise my gifts and the things that I had to say for fear that exposing myself as I really was would set me on the path to prison or the psychiatric ward. Tommy was the first person to ever challenge this belief in me, and he earned my lifelong loyalty for doing it. I doubt that I ever would have become a musician – or even a relatively stable human being – if not for his friendship.
When you walk into a room, what do you notice first? Second?
First I feel the overall ambiance, particularly if there are people there. The jar of bad feeling in the air can hit me like a physical blow. After that I’ll notice people’s expressions, the things they’re communicating without words.
When you walk into a room, what do you expect people to notice about you?
I’ve learned that oftentimes people feel a bit threatened, thanks to my penchant for wearing bracelets, armbands, studded belts and other regalia that looks like combat gear. And then, of course, the people who also dress like that will gravitate to you right away.
Describe yourself to me.
I like to think I resemble a Plains warrior. My hair somehow accentuates the Cherokee in me, from my father’s side. This also shows in my complexion and bold jut of a nose; and in my natural swagger, which many people over the years have mistaken for insolence. I have a head of crow-black hair that has grown free for over two years. I let it drape over my face when I’m performing so that I don’t have to look at anything and can just let the music paint its own landscapes.
Is one sense more highly developed than another? (Are you more visual, or audial, etc, or do you rely on the famous sixth sense?)
Well, if you’re a musician then you’d be a fool not to treasure your ears. But I do often feel and know things that can’t be rightly corroborated by the senses.
Did you turn out the way you expected? The way your parents predicted?
My mom wasn’t around long enough to make any predictions, really; and around the time that she died is when my dad seemed to give up on me entirely. As for my own expectations… I hardly have space to entertain them. Life is measured in heartbeats and breaths, and I’m just trying to make it to see next week. It’s been hard to separate my own perception from everyone else’s, too. There’s always seemed to be this presence that wants to hold me back, to keep me from becoming the man that I’m desperately fighting to be. It speaks in the voices of teachers and other authority figures from all throughout my life: Anyone who’d ever tried to tell me what life was all about instead of letting me figure it out for myself.
What really moves you, or touches you to the soul?
If you really open yourself up to life then you feel like everything is sacred. I guess I most treasure those things that bring me more deeply into that felt sense: Music, or art in general, love…
What's the one thing you have always wanted to do but didn't/couldn't/wouldn't? What would happen if you did do it?
What do you consider are your strengths?
I have intense focus and drive. I’m willing to risk everything in pursuit of my Vision, so I suppose you could call that a kind of courage. And I like to think that I pursue my art for the right reasons. Every breakthrough will hopefully be not just a benefit to me but also to all those whose lives I touch.
What do you consider are your weaknesses?
Maybe I’m too intense, too single-minded. My focus grows so one-sided that the rest of my life suffers as a result It’s tough, because a lot of what I want to achieve… you kinda have to have this tunnel vision, to be a bit obsessive in order to see it to fruition.
What is one physical attribute you are proud of?
Probably my hair. When I consider all the ridicule that I endured for it, throughout High School…
What one physical attribute would you change?
For a few years there I really hit the weights hard and built up a solid physique. But now I’m thinking that maybe I wouldn’t have been so willing to fight, all those times, if I hadn’t known myself capable of doling out some serious physical damage.
What do you consider your special talent?
I can take what seems inexpressible and lay it down in words and music. I can spell out feelings, desires and sensations that the average person has no names for.
What do you wish your special talent was?
Relating to other people.
What are you most proud of about your life?
When we made our first record, when we laid down our contribution to the living myth that had sustained us for so long, it was the justification of all the ordeals that I’d surmounted leading up to that time.
Is there anything you've always wanted to do but haven't done? What would happen if you did it?
What's the worst thing you've ever done? Why?
I lost control so bad, this guy I was fighting could’ve wound up dead. It was a fit of madness that at the same time felt exhilarating. He’d thrown me down, and I wrested his beer bottle away and broke it over a rock near where we were struggling. I pinned his arms together at the wrists with my left hand. Then I pressed the edge of the broken bottle against his neck. I’ll never know how far I planned to go. Thank God Tommy was there, and was able to reach me and talk me down.
Describe your ideal mate.
Oh, I could name all these characteristics and then go out there and fall for somebody who didn’t fit that description at all. You want someone who can really meet you, is the thing. The way that someone can spring into your life and so perfectly mirror your hopes and fears, your longing for love as well as all the parts of you that shun it, is a miraculous thing. Of course she’d have to be pretty far off the beaten path, in order to even relate to me in the first place…
What are you most afraid of? Losing control again.
What's the most important thing in your life? What do you value most?
How do you feel about your life right now? What, if anything, would you like to change?
Aside from being happy with Janie, with my relationship with Rachel and the handful of friends I’ve got, I pretty much want to change everything about my life. Every day, you tell yourself that the big breakthrough is just around the corner. That’s how I try and keep my mental equilibrium.
If you could be an animal, what would it be? (You can adapt this question to fit the character ie/make it what kind of car, plant, whatever.)
Maybe a Blue Whale, ‘cause then I’d have a lifetime of nothing to prove to anyone. Who’s gonna mess with you, or deny you your basic needs? To be king of the ocean and then just mind my own business, I’d enjoy that.
