kids dublin overwhelmed
Food in Dublin has gotten immeasurably better than it was. When I was a kid, there weren't a lot of options. Now you're overwhelmed with options.
chance impression one-chance
You get one chance to make an impression, and coasting through is a disservice.
home college men
I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.
college guitar play
I didn't really learn how to play guitar until I was in college.
guitar
I'm learning on the guitar all the time.
song fall self
Its always important to fall back on your instincts and core beliefs and that was pretty hard for me to do but trusting in my self the way I trusted that if I were to sit at a piano for two hours and I was going learn something, that trust I'd put in myself really helped me get through it. For five to six months I just wrote songs and believed they would turn out to be things I could be proud of and be happy.
coffee nuts traveled
I've traveled quite a lot and become a coffee nut.
guy finding-yourself musical
I'm mostly a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly find yourself getting folded into the musical tapestry.
ideas people trying
The idea of trying to predict what people will or won't respond to is risky.
song writing emotional
I write songs on a course of time that's comfortable for me. I would probably never write a song from start to finish in the course of a day, hell probably not even a week. My mind is always going to change and my emotional state will also change on a daily basis.
artist people trying
It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.
records firsts easy
My favorite records are not easy - they're not records that reveal everything to you the first time out.
school play new-things
I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.
song dark might
I feel the reasons my songs might seem dark is because of how I viewed the situations I was in and it was just something I always felt like documenting.
