people stage ask-me
People ask me if I have stage fright. I say, "God, no, I'm completely comfortable there. I have rest-of-the-day fright."
pain daffodil ifs
If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain
believe years long
A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.
entertainment misery
Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.
nice feelings way
The nice thing about being on stage is it's not that I know what to do, but I have a very clear feeling that anything I do is OK. All I'm up there to do is express how I feel. Any way I choose to do that is fine.
playing-music
I've been playing music most of my life.
people feel-good important
A lot of life is about how you feel relating to dealing with this person or that person. If this person makes you feel good, then they're a person to be around; if they don't, they're not. Being in a band is different. The group is the more important part, and you have to kind of shift the way you look at life when you're in a group of people that you work with.
stupid kids years
I can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less that we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal. If you don't find a way to break the chain and change in some way, then you wind up, as the rhyme goes: a murder of one, for sorrow.
thinking people make-you-happy
I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.
distance life-is shame
If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame.
important wake-up world
There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.
country couple believe
I've spent most of my life living in cities where people are obsessed with looking down on people from everywhere else. You get so used to doing it that you start to believe it's simply what everyone does. It makes for an atmosphere of unwelcome that penetrates much of our modern life. It's a shame really because a couple days in Oklahoma will open your eyes to how much better it would be if the rest of the country was filled with a few more people from Oklahoma.
american-musician dreams films memories
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts.
dragged inside kicking possible screaming seeing studio
Things are brewing. We will, in all likelihood, be seeing you soon. We may even see the inside of a studio soon. Things are stirring. It may even be possible to get me out of my house. Kicking and screaming and being dragged ... but out.
