Yeah, Under The Table And Dreaming shaped the way that I think about writing songs.
The tweets are getting shorter, but the songs are still 4 minutes long. You're coming up with 140-character zingers, and the song is still 4 minutes long…I realized about a year ago that I couldn't have a complete thought anymore. And I was a tweetaholic. I had four million twitter followers, and I was always writing on it. And I stopped using twitter as an outlet and I started using twitter as the instrument to riff on, and it started to make my mind smaller and smaller and smaller. And I couldn't write a song.
I don't write songs in order to stick it to my exes. I don't release underground dis tracks.
I need some kind of emotional stake in it to write my lyrics, assuming that place. It might just be an emotion I understand but am not currently experiencing necessarily.
I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. There's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. Well they're not good enough. Write it! I want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. You're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. That's what I really think it is. Well it's all right. Well, how do you know? It's not done!
Scared of the world outside you should go explore, pull all the shades and wander the great indoors. Though lately I can't blame you, I have seent he world and sometimes I wish your room had room for two.
I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction.
the trapper keeper is the genisis of OCD for my generation.
We have an immediate and dire need for this. The board has voted already to go ahead with this.
We could finish our season on a winning note. That was certainly our goal. We're real excited. We really are. We're getting there.
I don't have anybody telling me what to do.
Never underestimate the power of "I'd like that.
I lost my head for a little while.
It makes you feel like you're on vacation. It's the kind of drink that should have an umbrella sticking out of it. It tastes great in the winter months.
