talking
I'm dealing with things as they come along, and I'm talking about it
song ideas want
I usually have an idea of how I want a song to sound, but I don't always know how to get there
real writing people
I've had trouble being in relationships and writing. This has been a real problem for me. I don't know if it's because I'm not free to fantasize or create these fantasy things about other people
independent ideas people
I grew up in a very literate, very independent household where people spoke their ideas and were very supportive of helping each other find their own way
writing thinking people
People seemed to think, you get to a certain age or you get married or you, you're comfortable. And so now there's nothing to write about: that angst is gone. The youthful angst. And that just hasn't happened with me.
holiday singing sitting
I feel like it's really kind of a sit-down album, much in the same way I imagine Billie Holiday or someone sitting down in the studio and singing.
song mean loss
I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?
trying way my-own
I'm trying to get out of my own way
alzheimers littles way
The thing about Alzheimer's is that it's... it's sort of like all these little, small deaths along the way, before they actually physically die.
ideas interesting world
It's really about living in your head... just looking out at the world, then going back into your head and tossing around a lot of ideas and coming out with something interesting to say.
broken-heart song writing
I guess you could write a good song if your heart hadn't been broken, but I don't know of anyone whose heart hasn't been broken.
artist down-and way
I'm an artist first and foremost. So things are gonna go up and down and sideways and whichever way all through life.
war eye ears
What seems conceit, bad manners or cynicism is always a sign of things no ear have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.
coffee writing jeans
First thing, I throw on some jeans, a T-shirt and my Keds sneakers and make coffee. That is actually my favorite time of day. That is when I do my songwriting, when I am in writing mode.
