song fall self
Its always important to fall back on your instincts and core beliefs and that was pretty hard for me to do but trusting in my self the way I trusted that if I were to sit at a piano for two hours and I was going learn something, that trust I'd put in myself really helped me get through it. For five to six months I just wrote songs and believed they would turn out to be things I could be proud of and be happy.
the-end-of-the-day schedules able
At the end of the day music is a grind. You're constantly working at it and even with playing shows as well. If your schedule isn't planned right it could really throw things off, but honestly at the end of the day its incredible being able to go to so many places.
song simple guitar
I really wanted to get that dynamic on the record onto people and let them know it wasn't just a simple strumming along the guitar type of thing without ramming it down their throats so I kind of went the opposite way and sang some of the songs more quietly which allowed for the louder parts to sound as though there were more. It was the only way singing those songs made sense to me.
taken thinking medicine
I feel if I wanted to be taken seriously I have to study music the same way someone who wants to be a doctor would study medicine. You have to know your craft and by doing so I had to make sure to ignore what people were thinking as well.
writing kind notepads
I was never a 'sit down with a notepad and write lyrics' kind of person.
kids dublin overwhelmed
Food in Dublin has gotten immeasurably better than it was. When I was a kid, there weren't a lot of options. Now you're overwhelmed with options.
chance impression one-chance
You get one chance to make an impression, and coasting through is a disservice.
home college men
I never was the front man in any bands I played in when I was in college, and I always learned music by myself at home.
guy finding-yourself musical
I'm mostly a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly find yourself getting folded into the musical tapestry.
artist people trying
It's like half the campaign of selling a record is trying to convince people that you're an artist. Well, I am an artist. This is what I do.
records firsts easy
My favorite records are not easy - they're not records that reveal everything to you the first time out.
school play new-things
I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.
song dark might
I feel the reasons my songs might seem dark is because of how I viewed the situations I was in and it was just something I always felt like documenting.
sleep thinking honest
Music is really everything I know. To be honest every experience I've ever had has been brought up from music and everything I do is because of music. I don't know anything else, I think about music before I go to sleep and it just really is everything that I am.
