song thinking names
Whatever I think the song sounds like is what I'll name it. It's a feeling thing; it's not logical at all.

Twitter is a real addiction, like the color of it, the process of it.

The words that are coming out of my mouth and how I mean them, it's so much different.

Touring with the record out - shows are so much more fun now that n - - s know what I'm talking about.

It would be ridiculous to say I don't want to sell records, but I trust my taste.

That sums up why it's crazy to meet Paul McCartney because he's the type of n - - that needs that.
