Everything is perfect. Everything is fine. The rules of life are made up. The rules only exist in your mind. Of course there may be courtesies And closures and laws to abide, But the zeal with which you play Relies on where YOU draw the line
You're an island of reality in an ocean of diarrhea.
I look around my life and it's hard to believe that music has given me all that I have.
I'm trying to be more of a gentleman.
I think anyone who uses the web is smart and will profit.
I came from Mechanicsville, Virginia, where you have four seasons.
To create an album of love, I really had - I thought it was going to be easy, because I've always written love songs. But I thought if I really want to make a love album that contributes, that actually means something, I've got to go deep.
I buy records from all across the board. I get kind of a hybrid of influences in my own music.
Getting on stage is a bonus, that's my therapy, that's when I can tell stories and it all makes sense.
Genre-spanning is the effort to make the live show interesting. It's also a great way to challenge yourself as a writer.
Whenever I'm in need of inspiration and mantras, I go straight to simple affirmations. 'I am strong', 'I am brave', 'I can do this' and 'I'm awesome'. Whatever you put after 'I am', you will become. 'I am' are the two most powerful words, so make sure what you say after 'I am' is what you want to experience. It's like a magic trick.
If I'm in a relationship, that girl gets showered with letters from the road. I pour my heart into it.
I want to be surrounded by women, I want to be snuggled and cuddled and pampered.
Everything in life influences my music. I've always used songwriting as a means to share what I think is profound.
