Interview with Luke of Enjoyable Listens
...
We love the unique and nonconventional atmosphere in your music and lyrics, tell us about how that all came together over the years?
Luke: Thank you so much. I started off trying really hard then stopped trying and began doing. Life is too short to be influenced. I just wanted to show folks my point of view and I think a lot there’s a lot of deep pleasure in that.
What inspired you to write your latest track 'The Field'?
Luke: It’s about a church that are meeting on a field under a big tent. That, twinned with an exhortation to not be swept away by a culture of fear, but of love, power & a sound mind.
How have you dealt with hardship in the past?
Luke: Turning to the Author of creation. Good God in all His glory. I’ve been very fortunate in that I haven’t really experienced all that much hardship. I guess suffering is arbitrary, but meditating on the person of Jesus Christ works.
We wanna know, who inspires your vintage sense of fashion?
Luke: John Travolta, Bruce Willis, the tattoo artist formerly known as ‘Paradise’, the life of my dreams and the Scope Charity shop in Aylesbury where everything is always £1.
