I never knew a man could tell so many lies, he had a different story for every set of eyes. How can he remember who he's talking to?
If you wanna write a song, ask a guitar
I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.
Hate was just a legend and war was never known. The people worked together and they lifted many stones.
In the fields of opportunity it's plowing time again.
It was then I knew I'd had enough, Burned my credit card for fuel Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand With a one-way ticket to the land of truth And my suitcase in my hand
One good thing about the past is that you can't change it. So there's no reason to go back. It's there. It is what it is. The only thing you can change is right now and what's happening next.
I'm not a preacher, and I'm certainly not a good example, but I have my own feelings about God. I'm kind of a nature guy. My cathedral is forests, or the prairies, or the beach.
Love is a rose But you better not pick it. It only grows When it's on the vine. Handful of thorns And you'll know you missed it. You lose your love When you say the word MINE.

To protect our freedoms, it seems we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.
Commitments are one of the worst things to have in the music business. They're very annoying.
I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.
Pearl Jam is a band I have a lot of respect for. Nirvana and Sonic Youth I feel the same way about. Mumford & Sons, My Morning Jacket, Wilco, Givers, and Foo Fighters are just some of my favorites. I respect bands that give me something of themselves that I can feel. ("Posing" bands turn me off generally speaking.) It all has to do with a feeling I have about them. That is what music is to me, a feeling. It's similar with people too.
