bed believe deeply faith far folk kinds nails people record religious sleeping snake statement
I was just making a statement about how far people will go to their faith . . . like sleeping on a bed of nails or snake handling. Those kinds of things show how deeply people believe in God. So to me, this record is like religious folk art. It's kind of my statement.
song real genuine
We just did a few takes of a song and just picked the best one. It was real organic and genuine.
song art self
Above all, the listener should be able to understand the poem or the song, not be forced to unravel a complicated, self-indulgent puzzle. Offer your art up to the whole world, not just an elite few.

Some of their best songs don't have bridges and choruses. So that made me think I should trust my instincts. My songs were okay, I figured. I didn't need to change anything.

Just because I'm talking about something that might have been a sad or painful situation doesn't mean that I'm sad or tortured 24 hours a day any more than anybody else is.
dream song writing
Sometimes I dream song ideas. I write a song in my dream, the melody and everything. But then sometimes I can't remember them. I think later on, I probably do.

I have had to come to terms with wearing glasses.
