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.
people spotlight
So few people are truly themselves when they're in the spotlight.
real hype people
Sade's stuff is real deceptive. She's got stuff about prostitutes, poverty and people on the streets.
people trying different
I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.
people crafts want
You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they're ready.
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.
people battle sake
I'm polite. I guess that's the dichotomy within me. I don't like to piss people off just for the sake of pissing them off. I pick my battles.
characters known lived man people talk
The man I lived with is a Christian, so I would talk to him about it. What would this person do in the Bible? What's the story around this person? Generally, when people talk about characters in the Bible, there's one thing they're known for, like Job.
maybe might particular process song stay stop thinking
There's this process that comes about in writing a song where you just stop and see where it can go. Generally, a song will stay with the same idea. I might be thinking about a particular person, for instance. Then it will kind of go from there. And maybe by the end of the song, it will become something more universal.
heart lie
Could tell a lie but my heart would know.
life reflected time
The way I look at life, whatever I'm doing at that time in my life is going to be reflected in my songs, for the most part.
grab might time
Sometimes I might borrow something from a song I started a long time ago and see if I can grab something.
