Well, I won't give up on us, Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up
I write my miserable songs. I write songs about disgust and self-pity. We’re all going to have bummer moments. That’s not the stuff I choose to share.
Equality and separation cannot exist in the same space.
Cause even the stars they burn, some even fall to the earth. We've got a lot to learn, God knows we're worth it.
To create an album of 12 songs, I've got to write about 80 songs. Half of those are totally weird and rubbish.
And when you're needing your space to do some navigating...I' ll be here patiently waiting to see what you find
As an American citizen, one has to vote. If we don't vote, we're not doing our part. We'll become some sort of oligarchy.
A lot of those ideal towns are all starting to look the same, the specifics are starting to disappear. So we need to retain a love for life, a love for one's family, a love for where one's really from.
I'll experience vulnerability when I just don't have any more to give.
Hold your own. Know your name. And go your own way. And everything will be fine.
For every action there’s a reaction. And also, for every action there’s an equal and opposite criticism.
Two halves don't make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.
I think more obvious to others, is that I'm most vulnerable on stage. Even though I know which songs I'm going to play, I try and keep it loose and base my stage time more on what the audience is requesting of me.
It's from being melancholy and having my human down experiences that I learn, that I overcome, that I transform - and these realizations I put into song. That's what I choose to put in my backpack and carry with me around the world.
