song writing years
I've been writing and collecting songs on the ukulele for at least 10 years, so it was time to clear them out of the apartment building and make room for some new occupants.I need to make room for the bassoon record.
grandma names jam
I got a great grandma. Her name is Pearl, and she was at one time married to an Indian chief, who, in a wonderful crossing of cultures, she integrated some of his, and some of hers, and um, it was a combination of peyote and preserves, and it was this hallucinogenic jam.
thinking way kind
I'm not having to show off or make a point about how good I am at doing something. I think I've always kind of been that way.
waiting minutes humans
Wait a minute, yes, those are human heads.
teacher circles people
On bended knee is no way to be free lifting up an empty cup I ask silently that all my destinations will accept the one that's me so I can breath Circles they grow and they swallow people whole half their lives they say goodnight to wive's they'll never know got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul so it goes...
dream men rivals
Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no ones rival.
order people appreciate
It's important to have a life and spend time outside of those things [music and politics], in order to appreciate what you've achieved as far as just spending time with people you love, and doing things like painting.
writing guitar ukulele
Things like guitars and ukuleles, you should never part with it, because there will probably be good, healthy times spent, just playing and writing.
i change by not changing at all
proud sake audience
I'm making music for music's sake, and I have an audience I'm proud of.
writing choices world
If there was anything that I learned with my own writing process, maybe there's too many choices what to write about. Just the amount of subject matter in the world these days; maybe that feels chaotic for me.
song writing trying
I am not a good enough writer to have an agenda or come up with a message and try to put it into a song. It's more like you write what comes to you... You try to reflect the mood of the songs.
car long guy
I had a long talk with Bruce Springsteen on a rooftop during the Vote for Change tour (in 2004). And it boiled down to this: That guy you used to be, he’s still in the car. He’ll always be in the car. Just don’t let him drive. He might be shouting out directions. But whatever you do, don’t let him get behind the wheel.
pockets framed should
Gave her love away, put it in my pocket when it should of been framed!
