music
For me, music is in the choice of what not to play as much as in what you've chosen to play.
Commercialism isn't challenging creatively; it's only challenging in a stamina way.
suddenly wrote
When I wrote 'Mushaboom', I was living in the second verse, but I suddenly found myself in the first.
school writing thinking
I think that's more a reflection of the fact I've never been a student of any particular school of writing, or even listening.
girl grandma party
All the girls who have photos of them at parties, like, "Woo!" - that's what someone's going to see of their grandma.
able imagine grandkids
Now, there's just so much imagery. Imagine what our grandkids are going to be able to see of us?
black-and-white grandparent eras
It's amazing when you find a photo of your grandparents when they were young because it's black and white and the care that they put into their appearance back then was so grown up and specific to that era.
There's something about live recordings now that's too hi-fi.
want lenses photograph
I don't want to take photographs that I won't recognize as myself, and myself isn't necessarily just blankly staring at the lens.
fall earth falling-asleep
You can get anywhere on earth by falling asleep.
style origami assuming
Instead of just looking back, whiplash-style, I can assume there's something else coming. Time just folds over itself, like origami.
digging nostalgic trunks
I'm a nostalgic person and I really like rehashing and digging around the mental trunks.
beautiful weather giants
I like being swept up in weather and observing it as something beautiful and giant.
kids play oil
I love storms and how the whole house shakes. When I was a kid, there would be lots of thunder and lightning storms, and they would knock the electricity out. We had this oil lantern that had been in my grandfather's homestead at the turn of the century, before there even was electricity. He'd bring it down off the top shelf, and we'd always play cards.
