people
People assume I sell a lot more records than I actually do. I really don't sell any.
dress people stage
For stage I try to dress down, because I want people to take me seriously.
teenager people band
People don't seem to care about convictions any more. When I was a teenager, the deal was that, y'know, you had a band that you were really loyal towards, almost to a fault, and you stayed really loyal to that band. That was the whole thing, that was such a big deal.
past people different
Some people seem so different, some people feel so much more than other people, some people are able to push past things so much easier. And...it's just fascinating to me.
people brain different
I feel like people are actually just built differently, have different chemicals going on in their goddamn brain.
people bars patterns
If you have very few experiences in your life, romantically, or whatever you're doing, then of course you're going to talk about those, because there were only a few of them - as opposed to the people who repeat patterns, always at the bar, always with someone, always blah blah blah.
should-have people buttons
I feel like people who are guarded and shut off, I feel like they should have to wear a button that says, "shut down", "guarded" or something.
people connections share
The point of life for me is just to make connections with people and share experiences with people.
people
I'm sure that it's not good not to be around people.
thinking people goes-on
I never go out, ever. And I think that's why I've been craving human connection so badly, and in a way, I'm excited to go on tour to be around people all the time.
explore less looser nature playing tight
Most of my playing style is very on point - the tapping, just by nature of being rhythmic, is tight - so I'd like to explore something looser and less precise.
certain entirely help lean listen motivate music thinking towards
Music is entirely subjective. I was thinking that for myself, for songwriting and what I like to listen to, to help motivate me as a songwriter, as a musician, there are certain things I lean towards and certain things I don't.
bands bolt tapping
Lightning Bolt and Hella are two bands I listen to, and there's a lot of finger tapping going on there.
Mainstream to me equals boring, so I don't want to be doing that.
