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.
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.
heart lie
Could tell a lie but my heart would know.
asked couple dad evenings felt fond hank living memories met might playing reading seemed shows sitting songs talk time together williams writer
We've done about a half-dozen of these shows together over the years, and from the first time, it seemed special. It felt comfortable to me, because I was used to sitting around with dad and some of his writer cronies in the living room, playing songs and him reading a couple of poems. I have fond memories of those evenings when we'd be sitting around and I would be asked to play. I might play a Hank Williams song or something like that, and he'd talk about the time he met Hank Williams.
