"I grew up playing music (piano first, then guitar and other instruments later), but did not write lyrics in those early days. In the late 90's a took a backpacking trip through Europe and close to the end of my trip I hiked a mountain in Snowdonia (Wales) called Cader Idris, a 3,000 ft. peak shrouded in mystery and folklore. There is a legend that if you spend the night on the slopes of Cader Idris you awake either a madman or a poet. I hiked the mountain and later slept on the peaks of Cader (after getting trapped in the fog), only to awake and write my first lyrics just a short time after. ‘A Madman and A Poet' is based on that experience and the after.” — Nate Currin
