moments being-true
We know nothing. And just because you know something to be true at this moment in your life or you feel that it is true, you can never be sure of yourself.
kids boys oregon
I was into acting as a kid. There was a time when I was 18 that I played the boy in a production of 'Equus' in Oregon, and I thought that was going to be my life.
communication people speech
Vocal rest is awesome. It is like any kind of fast. Firstly, it is a purification of speech. It made me realize how not careful I am with the things I say. It also makes you find new ways of communication and new methods to connect with people.
coffee school kids
I started performing at home as a kid putting on shows and lip-syncing Michael Jackson for the grown-ups. Then, in musicals and plays in school. At 17, I was performing in coffee shops and in parking lots at Phish shows. At 18, I had a band that played local shows in the Northwest.
beauty-of-life
The beauty of life is not knowing.
art artist needs
If I've grown as an artist, it will be represented in the art. There's no need to explain it.
meaningful song children
I can't choose the most meaningful song that I've written. That would be like choosing one child over another. But first borns are always special.
self tools emotion
Music has always been such an amazing tool for me to access self and emotion.
music-is ideology
My music is not really about one ideology. It's not about one truth.
hockey player singers
Before I was 14, I wanted to be a singer, an actor, or a hockey player. By 15, I knew I was going to be a singer.
jobs home who-i-am
My life is not separate from my music, you know? It's not like a day job that I leave and go home. It's who I am as a person and how I am trying to grow, come closer to God, be a better person.
artist style bob
Some artists are bound to an image: Bob Marley has dreadlocks, Matisyahu has a beard. But that's a reminder that the whole thing is not about style. It's about music.
get-well sky helping
You're looking for help from God, you say he couldn't be found. Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground.
people prove caught-up
People get so caught up in needing to know and having to prove themselves to be right, and I'm blown away by this.
