time-left left seasons
Time. There is much time left and lots of life seasons. There is much to see, to do, and to be.
dream writing color
Writing music is like tasting the sky. It keeps me dreaming in color.
rain thunderstorm dance-in-the-rain
Life isn’t how you survive the thunderstorm, but how you dance in the rain.
moon sky causes
If you can fly, don't stop at the sky, 'cause there's footprints on the moon!
girl boys dating
A boy and a girl started dating after he backed his car into hers. They met by accident.
scared
I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid
nice home doors
I tend to have to just get away from it all, so it is nice when touring to be able to come home for a week or two and close the door and not really see anybody.
song kids airplane
It's very cool for me to be able to get in an airplane and fly for fourteen hours and show up in a place I never thought I'd ever be and have kids in the same room singing these songs I'd written so far away. To me, that's so surreal.
song writing reality
I live alone in a house, so for me it's very good to just be able to re-charge and just disappear and escape from reality and that's usually when I write most of my lyrics and my songs. It's a very happy productive place.
kids night locks
It's been very humbling and very cool to see [that at] each show I tend to see more and more kids lock onto the new lyrics and every night they start to sing louder and louder and it's just been very exciting.
guy gears audio
I'm a studio guy. That's really what I love the most. I'm so fascinated with audio gear and recording techniques and whatnot, it's pretty mesmerizing.
faithful-servants done lines
As I’m so often reminded what a priceless gift my life is, I ache with everything in me to make it count, so that when I finally cross the finish line, I’ll hear the words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.
people buttons shows
Someone invent a NO LIFE alert so you can push a button and tons of people show up and hang out with you.
moving order next
Usually, whatever's in front of me is what I'm focused on and it's 100% on that and then I kind of move from one thing to the next. Like, if I go to a restaurant and I order food, I always just eat one thing at a time.
