song actors computer
I wrote 'Actor' all on the computer. I didn't touch any instruments until I was in the studio. So while I had all these ornate arrangements, I didn't have any songs.
car eight grew hours texas
I grew up in Texas and we used to go to Padre Island, eight hours in the car down to the beach.
eye pay exit
Oh but I'd pay anything to keep my conscience clean.I'm keeping my eyes on the the exit sign. Steady now.
appreciate dapper dresses
I love Robert Fripp. You know what I really appreciate about Robert Fripp? He always dresses appropriately for the occasion. When he's on stage, he's a Dapper Dan.
spiritual stronger followers
I grew up around a lot of various religions, so it's a part of my consciousness in a way. Everything from heavy Catholicism to followers of Indian spiritual masters to Unitarian universalists - all in one family. Though the family aspect was stronger than any particular dogma.
thinking pearls cobain
And if I'm honest about it, I was obsessed with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This is like '92, right in the throes of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I think I probably wanted to be Kurt Cobain.
song mean emotional
A song has a life of its own. It's an autonomous thing, separate from your own experience, almost. And the mere repetition of it means it's subject to change; it means approaching it differently, expressing different emotional aspects of it. It doesn't feel like wallowing.
female band common
Musically, I have more things in common with tons of bands that have no female members.
challenges easy music-is
Life can be challenging and sad... but music is the easy part.
technology entwined my-own
I've been so entwined with technology since I was about 15, recording myself and multitracking and producing things on my own.
writing play people
I've always wanted to make music like people write plays, so I was inspired by writers as much as musicians.
culture pop-culture pops
I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.
unqualified
I'm unqualified to do anything other than music.
fall house suffering
It ought to be considered a great misfortune, not only for individuals, but also for Houses and Congregations, to have everything in conformity with their wishes; to go on quietly, and to suffer nothing for the love of God. Yes, consider it certain that a person or a Congregation that does not suffer and is applauded by all the world is near a fall.
