people tomatoes able
I'm a tomato freak, but sometimes you have to get it in ketchup form for people to be able to open to tomatoes.
men able older-man
There are older men with younger women but you don't see a lot of older women with younger men. There are some women who have been able to do it but not often.
privilege records able
Being able to still make records is a privilege. I don't take it casually.
healing sitting able
Healing for me is being able to sit next to the butcher and say 'Yes, I’m sitting next to the butcher now,' instead of saying 'there is no butcher'.
asking life means needing people stories word
The word 'confession,' to me, means needing to be absolved, ... I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm not asking people to understand. I'd like to think that I tell stories and sometimes my life weaves through it.
build great touch wall
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you, how can I when you build a great wall around you.
matt talk
I think musically, if you talk to (drummer) Matt Chamberlain, he'll tell you it's really complicated rhythmically.
lose piece vegetarian
When it's all said and done we will lose a piece to a carnivorous vegetarian
barefoot chicken fried involve piece
I have my own parties. They involve being barefoot with a piece of fried chicken and margarita in each hand.
acquired control everybody hairy potato taste wants
You can't control your popularity; I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go a lot more places, but I'm not.
bread garlic mushroom pasta
It makes me think of mushroom pasta with dripping garlic bread and butter, not margarine, no margarine on this record, it's all butter.
dark horses mean
It's as if the horses have come to take us back, to descend, to find the dark side. By dark I mean what's hidden, not necessarily satanic.
derivative slightly
A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
form
I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.
