writing thinking important
I don't think it's important for everyone necessarily, and I totally respect that because everyone writes differently.
thinking animal empathy
I think I have a lot of empathy for animals and nature in general. Those things just make me comfortable. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, around a lot of animals. I feel for them.
thinking feelings calm
I just really dig feeling subservient to nature. It brings me a peace and calm. Kind of like a Faustian thing, I think.
mistake thinking animal
The Bible tries to make humans not animals the whole time. I think it's a bit of a mistake.
thinking might sides
I think my songwriting might be a little more on the darker side maybe.
men thinking guitar
I think if you're a lady playing a guitar, other ladies need to see you playing the guitar, and they don't need to see men come out and fix your equipment for you. It just looks incredibly pussy. So I just do it all myself.
animal thinking rights
I think I've kind of been mistaken for somebody who's trying to be a spokesperson for animal rights, and the fact is I'm not qualified to be a spokesperson. I am passionate about it, but I'm not trying to make other people do what I do.
thinking
I like to think that I'm not old yet.
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.
animals bed fairy family gets growing slept tales treated
Growing up, my family was very, very into animals. Animals were treated like other people; they slept in the bed with you. I come from an agrarian background. That's how my family's fairy tales are structured, where animals have a lot of power. It gets into people's psyche.
anybody eastern knows
If anybody knows about tragedy, it's Eastern Europeans.
anybody country mind sounds
I don't know anybody who doesn't hate being called alt.country. It just sounds like a website. I don't mind being called Americana, I don't mind being called country noir, or independent country is fine, but the words alt.country make me insane.
bands closest family personal road studio time
My personal time is the same as my road time and my studio time. Personal time is working and touring. All my closest friends and family are already in the bands that I'm around, anyway.
taken picture-taken
I have a pathological fear of getting my picture taken.
