girl light shadow
Originally, the lyrics to "Girl" were really upbeat, and then it didn't work for me somehow. You need the dichotomy. If you're doing something happy and light, you need the shadows.
light records different
Sometimes, reissues can be revelatory, or put the original record in a different light, but those are rare.
ancient creating defense heat lighting neither nor obsess personal quicksand sinking tales
As I obsess about my ancient problems, I feel more like I'm sinking in quicksand than lighting a torch. I'm creating neither heat nor light, just the icky, perversely pleasurable squish of self-pity between my toes. My only defense is that I'm not the only one down here in the muck - our whole culture is doting on tales of personal tragedy.
believe light shadow
I have come to believe that there are infinite passageways out of the shadows, infinite vehicles to transport us into the light.
light shining brave
Be brave enough to turn away from shiny objects, and toward the light that makes them shine.
loneliness light honor
Instead of hiding your loneliness, bring it into the light. Honor it. Treat it. Heal it. You'll find that it returns the favor.
motivational light shining
You shine for who you are ... because no one can steal your light.
light shadow
The shadows are only the darkest when the light is at its brightest.
bad electric hear piano sound turned tv using
I hear a lot of bad TV commercials that try to sound like Where It's At. That pretty much turned me off from using the electric piano for a lot of years.
learning maybe musician starting time weird
Every time you go in, it's like starting over. You don't know how you did the other records. You're learning all over. It's some weird musician amnesia, or maybe the road wipes it out.
influenced might stuff wacky
I have heard some stuff that might be influenced by my records, but it's usually pretty wacky and off-the-wall, which is kind of annoying, to be frank.
certain human meditate
You can't meditate on walking or certain human habits. You concentrate too much on the way you walk, and you'll start walking pretty weird.
music pressure
There's never any pressure on the music having to be something.
age felt people
I didn't go to high school. I never felt connected to people my age.
