dream garden long-ago
Way over yonder is a place I have seen In a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream.
jobs doe done
That's one of the things I love about being a songwriter first, last and always, because whether I do it or not, if someone does a great job on it, my work is done.
inspiring listening stuff
I listen to both oldies and contemporary stations. I enjoy listening to current stuff because there's an energy to it that's inspiring.
moving piano guitar
I'm really getting better at guitar. I'm not trapped behind a piano. You can get out and move with a guitar and still direct the band.
brain may pages
Sometimes I get a lyric, and the lyric, you know, comes off the page, and goes into my brain and comes out with a melody. Other times, I may create a melody first.
song home people
One of the things that I try to be conscious about in crafting a song is the concept of bringing it home. I like to bring it somewhere familiar, someplace that people feel it's resolved, it's settled.
life views eulogy
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, an everlasting vision of the ever changing view.
inspiration perspiration
Once the inspiration comes, that directs where the perspiration goes.
life trying answers
If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness Maybe not, oh, but we can only try.
inspirational beautiful you-re-beautiful
You're beautiful as you feel.
real love-is illusion
Only love is real...everything else is illusion
thinking fearless want
When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, why can't I do anything I want to do? You know, go for it.
life eye love-is
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes, But will you love me tomorrow?
inspiration writing incredibles
The writing of You've Got a Friend was one of the most incredible experiences because it was mostly inspiration. It just came to me almost as we hear it.
