hurt mean found
Once you're an addict, you're always an addict, so just because I found something good to do doesn't mean I'm not going to hurt myself doing it.
needs way disturbed
I'm usually pretty happy. I don't ever really get disturbed in any way, or feel like I need to go back and change something.
salt grain-of-salt records
I always listen to records that I've been a part of with a grain of salt.
song thinking acoustics
I really enjoy playing solo acoustic. I think it's good for me as a songwriter to stay in touch with what it takes to make a song work by yourself.
mean avant-garde never-change
Avant-garde is the one area of music that has never changed. It doesn't mean anything.
use ifs knows
I don't know if experimental is a word I would ever use comfortably.
book remember surprise
I honestly don't remember the book well enough to register any surprise about anything. I don't remember anything being shocking to me.
song thinking ego
That's something that I think as a songwriter you have to ask yourself - why you're doing it. The world certainly doesn't need more songs. Are you doing it just for your ego?
belief feels belief-systems
I'm very, very suspicious of anybody that finds a belief system that they feel can explain it all, for themselves or for anybody else.
song thinking endless
I think the songs are more about relationships that are endless.
thinking people support
I think that there's a lot of good will that exists between musicians and the people that support them and listen to them.
people records enough
I still have a lot of faith that there's very few people who are savvy enough to actually produce a good sounding copy of the record.
song writing thinking
Even when I don't think I'm writing, I'm writing. There's some part of my brain geared toward making songs up, and I know it's collecting things and I know when I get a moment to be by myself, that's when they come out.
shoes tennis trying
Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either.
