song writing thinking
I think a lot of my interest in history now isn't so much in places and names and texts and public figures, but more in examining all the nuances and idiosyncrasies of particular stories of everyday people.

It's sort of a re-rendering of history and making it my own. Sufjan Stevens

When you're really bummed out, the last thing you want to hear is up-tempo and positive. And it lets you know that you're not alone, that somebody has hurt before.

So you don't feel like you're crazy, and you feel like you might be able to make a difference. Steve Earle
