song different vocal
A different drumbeat or some vocal overdub could completely transform the song.
daughter body want
I don't want somebody telling my daughter who she can marry, or what she can do with her body. That's what was at stake.
rocks concerts appeals
I actually don't go to shows anymore. Rock concerts have lost their appeal for me.
party rocks clubs
Maybe because I have spent too much of my life in rock clubs. I don't really go to parties anymore either. I'll usually be in the bus by 11:30 after a show.
light way stage
Getting on stage and performing and standing under lights is such an unsettling experience - in a good and bad way - but it's the only place I can go to feel comfortable.
song drinking wine
I've never quite felt totally comfortable up on stage. I've gotten more comfortable, but drinking wine is a crutch that gives me a little courage. It helps me lose a little bit of the self-consciousness and the awareness of how awkward it is standing on a stage with lights and a bunch of people looking at you while you sing love songs.
song connected ifs
A song is a song and, if I am emotionally connected to do it, whether it is sad or not sad, I am going to chase that song.
caring thinking rocks
I think most people start rock bands in their early twenties or teens, but I was almost thirty at the time when the band started really doing anything and it took another several years before people started caring about us.
song emotional singing
It's not hard to connect with the music on an emotional level and get inside the songs. It's odd, very vulnerable, and slightly embarrassing to be standing and singing and playing music in front of a bunch of strangers.
wine reality littles
I drink wine on stage to sort of loosen my grip on reality a little.
book heart emotional
There are records that you just sink into. They coincide with what you’re going through and become an ally. If our records do that for people, that’s the greatest compliment I could ever receive. That’s one of the reasons making music is so important to me, because there’s a very strange emotional reach. For me—more than books or movies or other things—music is like a mainline to your heart.
forget-everything forget like-you
You gotta lean towards the things that make you like yourself. Forget everything else.
song writing want
The last thing you want to do is write songs about being in a band.
personality darkness
I became at peace with the darkness or the personality that I have. I am usually pretty funny and happy.
