life provided pursue realised record worked
I worked in a record store, but I realised I didn't want that. I still wanted to pursue a career - or a life - that my songs provided for me.
expecting helped lives means people tiniest written
Because of 'Wasn't Expecting That,' I've had a lot of people come up to me and say how I've written their lives or their grandparents' lives. It means the world to me that I helped in the tiniest way.
seemed
I was in a band at school, and almost from the day we started, I started writing songs, just because that seemed what you did.
bit industry
I think in every industry you need to have a lot of talent; you need to have a lot of drive, but you need a little bit of luck.
alone crowded fantastic favourite michael records
R.E.M.'s 'Automatic for the People' - that's probably one of my favourite records - Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' - that's some record - Crowded House's 'Together Alone' - that's brilliant, fantastic record.
love
I love skinny-dipping. Night swimming as well; that's my favorite.
family favorite love might wonderful
Skype is a wonderful invention. It might be my favorite thing because I get to see my family and the ones that you love.
music realise striving
I'm not striving for fame, that's for sure. I don't particularly like the idea of celebrity. I would like to be successful with my music, so I realise that there's a balance to be made there.
If you can have Ed Sheeran on your record, you may as well.
cup home nerves playing
I have no nerves at all about singing or playing stuff... and if I can have a cup of tea nearby, then I'm very much at home.
There's a band in the U.K. called Elbow. They're not that big in the U.S., but I think they're genius.
music people unless
There's no real music on television unless it's music television, and then it's expensive videos, which people like me can't do.
acoustic songs
The thing with One Direction songs is that you can probably break them all down to an acoustic guitar and vocal.
asked christmas playing
I asked for a guitar when I was 8 years old for Christmas. I have no idea why. I never had any guitar heroes. I still don't. But there must have been something in me because I've been playing for 30 years.
