accessible among artist choose directly good love mean paradigm people reach strange weird
It's weird because I am accessible to people on Twitter, and I can choose to read good things or mean things, and people can reach out to me directly and tell me how much they hate me or love the song. It's a very strange new paradigm as an artist to find yourself among this kind of connectivity.
becomes feels four happen life relevant sing song songs
It's interesting how songs can evolve. Sometimes I'll write a song that feels relevant in the moment, but four years later, I don't want to sing it anymore. Then something will happen in my life, and the song becomes relevant again.
genocide idly motivates stood war washington
What motivates me to go to Washington is that, during World War II, so much of the world stood idly by as the genocide happened.
I used to be a huge collector, and my big thing was stickers.
age people wrote
The Rilo Kiley song 'A Better Son/Daughter' is my most requested song - especially for people who are at the age I was when I wrote it. It's sort of a mid-twenties lament.
betting won
I've won hundreds at the track, but I'm not betting on the afterlife.
creepy rather slightly
It would be nice to create something that's healing rather than slightly creepy and darkly judgmental!
broke destroyed few five insomnia intense melted nearly severe straight
After Rilo Kiley broke up and a few really intense personal things happened, I completely melted down. It nearly destroyed me. I had such severe insomnia that, at one point, I didn't sleep for five straight nights.
learned shows
Some shows suck, but I always - the show must go on. I learned it from my past as a child actor. The show must go on. You have to just keep on with it.
guess hard love time tried
I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.'
life music sort transcends
I've always just had sort of a dark take on life, I suppose, and hopefully, the music transcends that in a way.
family felt great relationship surrounded
I've always felt lonely, even if I'm in a great relationship or surrounded by my friends and family.
Songs are really interesting in that way. Sometimes, they grow with you. Sometimes, you outgrow them.
side understand until
Sometimes you don't understand what you're going through until you're on the other side of it.
