song teacher writing
People take things a little too personal. I write these songs, and they're experiments with thoughts. That's it. I'm not a teacher.
writing trying care
I'm not trying to write for the masses. I don't care.
writing musician folk-music
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words.
writing trying performing
I just like writing lyrics. I find a little satisfaction in performing live, making records. But primarily, I just try to write every day.
writing giving people
I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.
song writing political
I couldn't write a political song. There's just opinion; it's all arbitrary anyway. It's all subjective.
song writing eye
When I'm trying to write a song for someone else, you can only see anything through your own eyes.
writing feelings mind
Even if I'm writing music, it's with a lyric in mind, to communicate some kind of feeling.
response separate song
Sometimes I feel like I finish a song, and there's another song that I have to write in response to that song. Each is like its own separate feeling, its own separate universe.
people
A lot of people don't know what it's like to actually be hungry. I do. I've also slept on the streets.
I just write songs whenever I feel like it, whenever they come to me.
art best god guys homer moses powerful shakespeare thank
Thank God we don't know a lot about Shakespeare or Moses or Homer or Lautreamont. These are the best guys we got, and their art is powerful because they're mysterious.

When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes. It comes down to people's personalities and individual energies.
self play joy
It's just a joy to be able to work with a lot of different musicians. When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes.
