freedom hundred solo sound true whatever wherever
That is the true joy of being a solo artist. I can do whatever I want. I can go wherever I want. I can show up with my guitar and my song, and it can sound a hundred different ways. That's the freedom of being on your own. The flipside is: That's you on the cover. If it sucks, it's your fault.
band johnny nature sick solo song turn
When I'm sick of myself, and when I don't know what to say as a solo artist, I can write a song for a movie. When I don't know where to turn musically, being in a band - Rilo Kiley or Jenny & Johnny - the collaborative nature is really exciting.
solo
Rilo Kiley was a rock band, so I wanted my solo records to feel different.
envisioned solo
I never envisioned myself as a solo artist; I was always part of a band.
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!
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.
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.
ahead bright itself life rough seems within
Sometimes things feel hopeless. Not always within my own life - but looking outward, it seems like rough times lie ahead of us. The world seems to be kind of caving in on itself in a lot of ways. But I try to look on the bright side.
