aware chose hit resonance sort
We're aware that it has resonance for the times, yes. But we chose it because it was the first hit we ever had, and it put sort of a bookend on our career.

love beautiful thinking
Paul has more, I think, of a feel for the stage. Whereas I have it more for the notes themselves. I love record making and mixing, arranging, producing. That I love. I love to make beautiful things, but I don't like to perform.
soccer cheer years
After all these years, I'm finally into soccer. The World Cup is on, and my band is an international group - they're all around me, cheering in the hotel bars.
fun joking-around certain
I like working solo and it was a lot of fun joking around with the audience, saying things. I'm only just learning how to do certain things.
giving way giver
By my 40s, I finally got out of my own way, so I could become a life creator; a life giver.
kids nuts practice
We'd go to the fraternity house. It was a good place to practice. But we really wanted the kids to overhear us. And whoever heard us would go nuts over it.
years shining mind
Never mind the transience of show business and popularity. When we hear Ray Charles, we go, 'That's a great singer.' You don't need a reporter or a writer to tell us. Good is good and it should shine through the years.
teaching used wells
I teach well. I used to really like teaching a lot. I enjoyed it a lot and I was good at it.
lines want tape

song records demand
I would start seeing, in just the sense I was saying now, the kind of record it was going to be and what the arrangement demands, and what my vocal part should be in the record. This was all emerging as the song was emerging.
radio stuff kind
I'm the kind of person who can hear that stuff. If you sing along to the radio and you're not going to sing unison with the melody, but find the harmony, I find that pretty easy to do.
years way lasts
Records became much cruder in the last 20 years. Let's put it that way.
dry records bigs
Records have images. There are wet records and dry records. And big records.
