giving feelings balance
Making music makes me feel vulnerable in the best possible way. It gives me a feeling of balance.
song writing people
I try not to be overly literal. When I'm writing songs, I write down a lot of words, and then I try to simplify it. I like to give people hints or words that make visual pictures for them.
believe want band
Every band wants to go believe me, not everybody makes it, but they want to.
hypocrite way would-be
I would be a huge hypocrite if I didn't tell you that at one time in my life I thought the way that you made music was you got on a major label and you got famous.
champion important physical-activity
I get outside a lot. I am a huge champion of physical activity. It's so important.
animal people empathy
I grew up with lots of animals and I related more to them than I did to people. I feel a lot of empathy for them.
home long band
Everybody in my band is married, pretty much, and have lives at home, and I don't want them to be away from their families so long that they just start to feel psychotic. You have to go home and stand around in your bathrobe doing your dishes to feel like a normal person sometimes.
nervous stage feels
I don't feel nervous or fearful when I'm on stage.
ideas waste awesomeness
We shouldn't censor ourselves based on the weak idea of "looking cool." It's such a waste of potential awesomeness.
kind
Everyone has to kind of fend for themselves.
song giving clue
You're not supposed to totally know what's happening. The songs are supposed to give you clues so you can fill in the blanks.
thinking
I like to think that I'm not old yet.
relief huge universe
I'm too small for the universe to revolve around me. It is a huge relief!
song thinking trying
I try to think of the songs as little movies. They're always pretty visual to me. I can always sort of see them. I don't always know what the end result is going to be, and I don't know exactly what it's going to sound like, but I can kinda see them.
