years forever lasts
It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it's a failure.
real years months
When I cleaned up some 17 odd years ago, I felt terrible for about six months. The only thing that gave me any real relief was strenuous physical activity.
years way-forward growth
It's hard to find a way forward. When you're 18 it happens in huge chunks every day, but after 20 years, growth is much more costly.
past years ice
Without a doubt, the warming of the past 100 years has been a welcome respite from a long and deadly Little Ice Age. The possibility that humans may have contributed to the recent warming does not make it any less welcome.
song home years
I've written a number of songs over the years and it's a big part of my life, this sort of tension between a longing for home and the call for the open road. It's sort of like a tug between two families. I even love to miss my home.
again days fire lonely seen sunny
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, I've seen sunny days I thought would never end, I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought I'd see you again
experience performing
Performing is a profound experience, at least for me.
life worked
I've always worked all my life and now I need a hand, not a handout. That's why I'm here.
again backstage james loved sing sweet
I was backstage when James called me back to the stage again to sing 'How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)' with him. I don't even feel like it was me up there. It was so intense.
certain major reinvent resonate strongly themes visit
I don't reinvent myself in any major way. It seems to be a slow evolution. I go back and visit certain themes that I feel strongly about and resonate with me emotionally.
music
I enjoy selling my music. I don't enjoy selling myself.
change hate horses swim
I hate it when they say 'Don't change horses in midstream' ... if your horse can't swim and he's way over his head.
dozen expecting people seven six songs vary
There are a dozen or so songs people are expecting to hear, ... You don't do them all, but you put six or seven of those songs in the set. And you try to vary the arrangement of things that are familiar.
absolutely bad
You have to brace yourself for the smell. It is a really bad stench. It is disgusting, absolutely disgusting.
