reading book insomnia
Today I fell asleep reading a book. The book is called INSOMNIA. I win.
song kids airplane
It's very cool for me to be able to get in an airplane and fly for fourteen hours and show up in a place I never thought I'd ever be and have kids in the same room singing these songs I'd written so far away. To me, that's so surreal.
grateful creative able
You work so hard at something to make sure that it's very pure and very genuine and very steadfast to who you are, so creative control for me is a big one. Thankfully, I've been able to retain 98% of it which I never really expected, so I'm very grateful to be able to control what I can.
guy gears audio
I'm a studio guy. That's really what I love the most. I'm so fascinated with audio gear and recording techniques and whatnot, it's pretty mesmerizing.
song writing reality
I live alone in a house, so for me it's very good to just be able to re-charge and just disappear and escape from reality and that's usually when I write most of my lyrics and my songs. It's a very happy productive place.
moving order next
Usually, whatever's in front of me is what I'm focused on and it's 100% on that and then I kind of move from one thing to the next. Like, if I go to a restaurant and I order food, I always just eat one thing at a time.
nice home doors
I tend to have to just get away from it all, so it is nice when touring to be able to come home for a week or two and close the door and not really see anybody.
hands trying saturn
I'd probably go to see Saturn first-thing and see as close to those rings as I can get and see if I can fly by one of them and try and put one of my hands through them.
girl boys dating
A boy and a girl started dating after he backed his car into hers. They met by accident.
rain thunderstorm dance-in-the-rain
Life isn’t how you survive the thunderstorm, but how you dance in the rain.
dream writing color
Writing music is like tasting the sky. It keeps me dreaming in color.
scared
I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid
moon sky causes
If you can fly, don't stop at the sky, 'cause there's footprints on the moon!
stars ties track
Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track & if my intentions stray I'll wrench them away,then I'll take my leave & I won't even look back
