almost argued guitar lost means played players rick stayed stick thinking
I stayed away from it for years, thinking that there were many, many better guitar players than I and that I should stick to what I do best, the writing and singing, ... Rick didn't want to budge, and we argued about it almost every day in the studio. I played on every track, which means I lost every battle.
writing thinking years
My writing is different. I think it's better. I think it's deeper. But, strangely enough, it covers a lot of the old ground. Maybe it says it in a more sophisticated way ... but I [have written] about basically the same subjects over the years.
thinking people taste
I think probably Australians have just a little more taste than most people.
thinking helping kind
You like to think that it's something you created, but secretly you know that you had some kind of help, or somebody gave this to you.
thinking two wife
I think I need to be married. Having a wife and family makes some sense out of all that I do, because I can't make any sense out of 20,000 adoring fans watching me for two hours.
ambition thinking years
I think that if I have one hope, 1 ambition, 1 aspiration for the next 4 or 5 years it would be that I can improve as a writer and just be able to say more of what I want to say throught the music.
song thinking said
Well, I Am... I Said was a very difficult song, very difficult because I really had to spend a lot of time thinking about what I was before the song was written.
aches page speaks theme
Be as a page that aches for a word/ Which speaks on a theme that is timeless.

I am," I said To no one there And no one heard at all Not even the chair "I am," I cried "I am," said I And I am lost, and I can't even say why Leavin' me lonely still
alone blows chill cold days diamonds hard leave soul stones wind
Some days are diamonds Some days are stones Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone Sometimes the cold wind blows a chill in my soul Some days are diamonds, some days are stone
course johnny liked
Of course I liked what Johnny did with 'Solitary Man,'
backwards became bigger brought focus inspire particular recordings rick songs understand worrying
the recordings became bigger than the songs, which I came to understand is a backwards way of doing it. The songs have to come first and inspire everything else. If Rick did anything for me, he did that. He brought my focus back to the songs and made me feel comfortable about not worrying about how the recording of that particular song would be.
You are the sun, ... I am the moon.
