met soon
As soon as they met us, I think everyone was more comfortable.
extremely operate political politics queer
I think our politics are extremely punk. The world that we operate in is still unfortunately more corporate. We can be queer and political but we're still part of the system.
area best humans mostly nature north rural surrounds
I live in the rural area of North Georgia, so for me, those are these best days. It has little to do with humans and mostly to do with nature and what surrounds me.
knew time
We knew each other from about the time we were 10.
song moving book
If some event happens and it seems really important to me and moving to me, I'll write it down in my lyric book knowing that it will come out in a song.
gay who-i-am levels
The only thing I have going on at a personal level is just the way I knew I was gay and I knew what that meant inside me, but the gender aspect of who I am came later.
thinking sexuality gender
Maybe our gender is one thing and our sexuality is another. And that's a cool thing I think.
self people be-who-you-are
You can spend time self-identifying and figuring out what you are on that, but at some point, you just want to be who you are and not walk around telling people.
fall hard-work gay
I feel like there are a lot of people doing a lot of hard work. I think it's too early to judge, and I don't think the gay community is in any way falling short.
starting-over people feelings
My personal feeling is that people need to be careful not to start over-analyzing and taking things apart and trying to be critical.
reality band folks
But the reality is that we are a folk band.
song want soil
ahhhh...organic and rich like good soil... makes me want to listen and hear it grow. the songs are honest and dimensional. it's music to my ears.
people
When people say, 'Nothing's coming to me,' they usually don't like what's coming to them.
jobs thinking community
I do think within any job you do, you have a chance to serve the community.
