In many instances, we are much better at fixing our mistakes after we've made them. In some situations, it is easier to sweep things under the rug and forget about them.
I always like to have an atlas just so that I can find things out. It's always good to have an almanac; those sort of things.
We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace.
Always walk where you like your steps.
Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that I feel anyone can relate to. It's not my dreaming tree that is dead. The feeling of a loss of hope is universal. There are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so I don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.
Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real or am I dreaming?
Goodnight moon. Sweet dreams. Smile kindly upon this little blue gum ball of us while we sleep.
I was regularly advised not to go into music, that I should give up that foolish dream.
