Various subjects are discussed, such as the motivation behind the project, his role in YesWest and the development and recording of their most popular song, as well as his foray into film scoring. Trevor does confirm a few things previously mentioned by Jon and Rick, such as Chris' passing providing a more urgent motivation.
"Chris and I were friends throughout the years. Every couple of years, he would always ask me if I wanted to come back to the band," he said. "I was in touch with Chris every day until his death."Trevor also comments on the status of the new music:
"Chris' passing made me think that life is short and that if the three of us were ever going to work together, now was the time. We all agreed that we've got to do this."
"I don't want to rush these songs," he said. "We've had offers from different record companies, but we've said no. We want control over the vision for our songs. Once you start listening to record company executives, then you lose sight of what you wanted to do in the first place."The article concludes with an enthusiastic comment from Trevor regarding the upcoming tour:
"We're very excited to get out and play live," he said. "Our fans are very special to us and we have set the bar high for what they'll experience in concert. This is a journey that has been a long time coming for all of us. We're not going to waste or take any moment for granted."
