thinking important able
Some music, it's meant just to make you dance and be able to celebrate and get away from all that kind of thinking. And so, I think it is important if you think your music can do that - to keep doin' it.
song thinking people
The songs themselves sometimes have messages and people can read into them different ways, but I try to use concerts as a way to gather people and then have information there. I think that's important to find that balance, a way to be able to turn people on to things at the shows, but also just have it be an entertainment experience for people who just want to hear music and dance and don't want the extra stuff.
song feel-better thinking
What I like to do with music is make people feel better. Make people realize that all humans have the same problems, more or less. A lot of people deal with the same thing. A lot of times people think problems are specific to them and they if they hear a song about a problem common to them, they feel good because they know that someone else has gone through it.
song thinking ideas
When I'm playing music I'm usually not thinking of surfing, just because I'm usually thinking about the chords and the lyrics, and sometimes that messes me up 'cause you'll start thinking, "Wait, how am I doing this?" But when I'm surfing, I'm usually thinking about music - whether it's an idea for a new song, or just singing a song in my head.
kids thinking profound
I think it's really important with kids just to show them the beauty of nature and teach them a profound respect for nature.
writing thinking space
I finish a lot of lyrics while I'm in the water and it's always pretty constructive for me to get out in the water. I'm not actually writing the words down, but I have time to think about words, and doing a lot of surfing usually gives me a little space and peace of mind to finish things up.
thinking wind energy
I think there's a really great amount of potential for Hawaii to become an example of what's possible with renewable energy because there are so many renewable resources here: energy, solar energy, and wind energy. There's so much potential here.
thinking political be-kind
I think that if everybody changed and tried to make their music political, it'd be kind of a bummer.
thinking eels cold
I eat cold eels and think distant thoughts.
major undergo
We will undergo a major reorganization of this government,
good
It was a little breezy and cooler, but all in all, it was a very good day for us,
against canada intensity passion russians skilled
The Russians have the most skilled team, but if Canada comes out with the same passion and intensity that they had against us, they will be fine.
dave great guy heady leaders quicker rarely similar step
(Emmert) is a guy that is similar to Dave in a lot of ways. He's a smart, heady player. He's probably a step quicker than Dave and taller, but they are just two great leaders that rarely make a mistake.
awhile career fierce forget great people plays run
People forget that he was a fierce competitor. How many times did he run for a first down scrambling on that drive? ... He made so many great plays in his career that after awhile you just got used to it.
