self play joy
It's just a joy to be able to work with a lot of different musicians. When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes.
want
I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.
taught baha young
When I was young, I used to go to Baha'i camp, and they taught me a lot about the equality of religions.
song teacher writing
People take things a little too personal. I write these songs, and they're experiments with thoughts. That's it. I'm not a teacher.
goal interesting long
As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more; the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.
people personality ego
People expect not just songwriters but all personalities to pontificate about their egos.
art art-is humans
Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.
writing musician folk-music
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words.
fun
I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.
computer cold share
I don't like going to the studio. It just seems too cold. There's no crowd to react to, or share anything with; it's just talking into a microphone that's going into a computer.
thinking singing
I think I like singing when I'm singing live. It's just in the studio when it's a drag.
people care kind
I don't care much about politics. That kind of witchcraft I stay away from because people end up dead. I'd rather die for music.
song trying way
I love songs because by nature they are concise; they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.
block character giving
If you've ever sang in falsetto, you know that your throat is between your voice and your mouth. In a standard voice, you sing from your belly. And when you sing in a falsetto, you're blocking that. It gives it a filter. It gives it a character. It's less revealing.
