trying statements excessiveness
I am trying to get right with God. I'm sort of making a statement about the excessiveness.
power trying sound
I'm trying to learn how to tap into the power of my own being. I know it sounds corny.
trying just-being looks
I'm not just a doormat. I'm not just being stepped on all over the place. If you look at the bulk of my material, it's about trying to find some strength through that.
people trying different
I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.
trying way my-own
I'm trying to get out of my own way
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.
attention grew
I grew up around writers. And it's all about attention to detail.
songs
My approach to recording and all that is pretty organic. It just has to do with all the songs I wrote; go in and record them.
coming everyday inspired life
I'm always coming up with ideas that have been inspired by memories, everyday life and this and that and the other.
good last maybe paper pieces songs
I have a folder of scraps and pieces of paper with stuff, ideas for songs from the last 25 years; just little things, maybe early songs that I finished, but didn't think they were good enough.
car life older songs wrote
Of course, I'm older now. I'm in a different place in my life than when I wrote the songs for 'Car Wheels' or 'Essence' or whatever. Different things were going on.
