I love being a very personal singer-songwriter, but I also like being a scientist or explorer.
The reason I do interviews is because I'm protecting my songs.
I have always had a certain song in my head, a certain chemistry of sounds.

I'm no buddhist, but this is fu**ing enlightmentment
i thrive best hermit style. with a beard and a pipe.
i'm back at my cliff still throwing things off i listen to the sounds they make on their way down i follow him with my eyes 'till they crash imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks.
How could I be so immature to think you could replace the missing elements in me. How extremely lazy of me.
