If interviews are just interviews or if music is just music, why are we even doing it? You only get so many hours in a lifetime, man.
If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.
Folk is bare bones music.
I refuse to make uninspired music.
Love for me is my North Star. It's the highest form of grace. And I love that there's different levels and different ways of showing it, and different representations of it. Whether it's love shown to a stranger, love to a sibling, your child, your parents, your partner.
If I'm inspired and music inspires me, then I will continue to play it.
Let us burn one from end to end, and pass it over to me my friend...
If you don't like my fire, then don't come around. Cause I'm gonna burn one down.
It turns out that there is something more magnificent than nature. It's love.
Wish there was something that I could say or do, I can resist anything but the temptation from you. But I'd rather walk alone than chase you around, I'd rather fall myself then let you drag me on down.
With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?

You're living life in real time, man, and we' ve got a good amount of work to do for each other. Hiding is not an option and you're going to step out and you're going to make mistakes.
A candle throws its light into the darkness, in a nasty world so shines a good deed. Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.
