Throughout his career as an actor, he’s starred in two of the biggest television series of the last two decades, creating two cult characters worthy of icon status. He’s stepped behind the camera to direct and behind the scenes to produce. He even wrote a few episodes of The X-Files, the hit television show he starred in from 1993-2002 (which is making a triumphant return next January on Fox). In the same vein, he man with a masters in English Lit published his first novel Holy Cow back in February. With a seemingly incessant need to be creative, Duchovny picked up a guitar and dove head-first into the realm of rock ‘n’ roll. After much fiddling on his guitar and penning lyrics onto paper, the end result was his debut alt-rock album Hell or Highwater, a melodic and moody (pun intended) outing that captures melancholy at its best. Just before David wrapped up a brief tour with back to back shows in New York and Philadelphia, he spoke exclusively with The Rock Revival about his music, touring, and what’s next for the Renaissance Man.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGoing back to the beginning, how did this project come to fruition?

It was really just an organic process from beginning to end. The way it started was, I picked up a guitar and decided I was going to teach myself how to play just because I love music and I thought it would be nice to be able to amuse myself that way. That went on for about a year and I was looking at these songs that I’m playing, these rock ‘n’ roll songs that are fairly simple. I’m not saying there not great, but they’re just chord structures that get repeated; blues and rock ‘n’ roll and they don’t belong to anybody, like folk music, and I thought if I could come up with a new melody to put on top of these chord structures then I could write some songs, and some lyrics I thought would come easiest because I’ve always written. Then I just started writing songs and I went to my buddy Keaton Simons and I said, “Hey, can we record these? I want to hear what my songs sound like, if they’re songs at all.” And he taught me a little about song writing. I had never written a bridge before, so he said, “Oh, you need a bridge in this song.” I said, “What’s a bridge?” Things like that. So, we recorded them and I thought it was cool. I have songs that I wrote on my phone and now they sound semi-professional and I’m kind of singing on them and thats more than I thought they would ever be. Soon after, Keaton was playing down at the City Winery here in New York and he asked me if I would come down and sing one of the songs, and I did. Brad Davidson from ThinkSay Records was there and he said, “Dude, lets make an album. How many songs you got?” I said, “Oh, God, I’ve probably got about 20. And he said, “Lets work on them. Lets make them into songs that you would want to hear on the radio. Like real songs.” And I said, “Well, if you want to do that then I’ll do that with you.” He said I should go work on my voice, so I went and worked on my voice, and then we ended up recording the album last December. So, it was never my lightbulb – it was other people’s lightbulbs.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://therockrevival.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_8989.jpg\" style\u003d\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg src\u003d\"http://therockrevival.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_8989-1024x683.jpg\" height\u003d\"133\" width\u003d\"200\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eYou mentioned that you started writing the songs and that you write all the time.

You’ll see great lyrics to song, you’ll see them on a page without the music, and you’ll be underwhelmed.

When Brad [Davidson, ThinkSay Records] approached me at the City Winery and said, “Let’s make an album,” and I said “Ok, so we can auto-tune and we can get the melody to where we want it, you know, with machines, that’s what you guys do, right?” And he said, “Eh, I don’t know. Maybe you should work not he voice.” So, I’ve been working on my voice for over a year and I don’t go out there to try to sing. I mean, I do my best and I try my best to stick to the melody of the song, but I don’t get too hung up on if I go flat or if I go sharp, because I know I’m going to do that. I don’t have perfect pitch or anything close to that. I just know how to inhabit these songs. They’re my songs, and I know what they’re about. I think the most important thing about my performance, at least for me, is getting the song across. You talked about it earlier – if its the sadness, then put the sadness out there so the audience can feel it and they can give something back, and we have a thing. I’m not just going to sit up here and put on the album so we can all listen to it. This is just happening tonight, and my voice is gonna be what it’s gonna be and it’s way better than it was a year ago when I started. I’m going to try my best, but what it’s really about is the feeling of the music and lets have a good time.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Webster Hall show is coming up next week in New York City.

We had Lemmy from Motorhead, we had [Marilyn] Manson on obviously, we had Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne), so Tom has a bit of a heavier metal flavor than I do but we shared a love for Elton John and Warren Zevon. Those two were on the soundtrack a lot, “Rocket Man” [by Elton John] we used a few times. And for me, Warren Zevon was like the patron saint of the whole show in my mind. His LA-centered lyrics and his point of view of the world were the key to Hank Moody for me. So, Tom and I kind of danced around on that. I turned him onto Warren Zevon and we were both surprised that we loved Elton John and we pitched songs to each other all the time. Eventually, when I was interested in learning guitar, I was teaching myself and then I figured out that a really sleazy way to get free guitar lessons was to ask Tom to help Hank learn how to play guitar [laughing], and that’s what I did the last couple years.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTwo birds with one stone.\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nExactly.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nxxxxx\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nsource: rockrevival.com\u003c/div\u003e\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.duchovnycentral.com/feeds/1127400598353996495/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.duchovnycentral.com/2015/11/interview-rain-in-hell-conversation.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5810865130164992971/posts/default/1127400598353996495"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5810865130164992971/posts/default/1127400598353996495"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.duchovnycentral.com/2015/11/interview-rain-in-hell-conversation.html","title":"[Interview] Rain in Hell: A Conversation with David Duchovny "}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"user"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"35","height":"35","src":"//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX7mmBFnp6yQwJyV1rIgVK8xVMcgfgHiEp38pG11ZxfOsstBx53dROOX8wiLjxD50BOamWUsJTC3fo2rfzLQSy0AwA4Iguf-Yt2JpA9ZSLt0IT2Mm3qMEka-et-tMJMJBWwNSnzT8scQ8Z/s72-c/IMG_8740-3-1024x683.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810865130164992971.post-5505290186601162112"},"published":{"$t":"2015-10-28T21:13:00.002-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2018-01-09T20:08:06.465-08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"songs written by david duchovny"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"\"Mo\" by David Duchovny"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\"Mo\"\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nMo or More is new song written by David Duchovny\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003eLyrics\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class\u003d\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang\u003d\"en\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir\u003d\"ltr\" lang\u003d\"en\"\u003e\nRough draft of song mo' for new album.

It’s kind of sad sometimes when you feel you’ve served this apprenticeship in a way, not to someone, but to yourself. And then our culture is so kind of youth oriented that the best practitioners, let’s just stick musically, it’s hard for them to find an outlet. I’m not saying Lindsey Buckingham doesn’t have an outlet, but the point is guys like that have been playing their whole lives have gotten better.

Then that was no longer a challenge thank God, and then it becomes how do you make that technical speak human, emotional? How do you connect with it?

I’m not denigrating the comedies of today, but a lot of it now is about men acting like children. You know, men being very silly. There are great people doing it, but I couldn’t do that.

Obviously he was not doing the right thing to keep that family together, but those things meant a lot to him. And I kind of liked our family values, even though you’d never think of our show as having them. It was very important for them, the love of their family and trying to keep it together.

As soon as that comes into play it just obliterates everything else that the show might be about. But you can’t tell people what to feel or what to talk about a show, you just make it and let it go and let it do what it does. I can sit here until I’m blue in the face and say I feel like the show is about love, it’s about family, but people are going to say, no, it’s about nudity. But I know what we were trying to do. Especially in the beginning, the first three or four years, that’s what we did. The last few years it’s been tougher, mostly because Becca, the daughter, got to an age where she didn’t need the parenting that she might have needed in the first few years.

And because it was bawdy and it was crude in parts, I said to Tom, this is funny, but I don’t want to do a show that’s about a guy just having these adventures with women. I don’t know what the point of that is. And he said, what if you got it right with a woman the first time, you know, when you’re young, and you screw it up? How do you get it back? So to me, the show was always about, “How does Hank get back with Karen?” But you know, without giving away our ending, I’m happy with it, but it’s not my ending. Because I didn’t write it. I was always one to say, either Hank dies, which I thought was good because, for me, the chickens have to come home to roost at some point. And to have Hank die was going to be realistic to me.
