needs way disturbed
I'm usually pretty happy. I don't ever really get disturbed in any way, or feel like I need to go back and change something.
salt grain-of-salt records
I always listen to records that I've been a part of with a grain of salt.
song thinking acoustics
I really enjoy playing solo acoustic. I think it's good for me as a songwriter to stay in touch with what it takes to make a song work by yourself.
mean avant-garde never-change
Avant-garde is the one area of music that has never changed. It doesn't mean anything.
use ifs knows
I don't know if experimental is a word I would ever use comfortably.
song thinking ego
That's something that I think as a songwriter you have to ask yourself - why you're doing it. The world certainly doesn't need more songs. Are you doing it just for your ego?
belief feels belief-systems
I'm very, very suspicious of anybody that finds a belief system that they feel can explain it all, for themselves or for anybody else.
song thinking endless
I think the songs are more about relationships that are endless.
people records enough
I still have a lot of faith that there's very few people who are savvy enough to actually produce a good sounding copy of the record.
shoes tennis trying
Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either.
song thinking people
I think there's a curiosity that can make you feel anxious as to what the world's going to make of what you're doing. It's not necessarily what you're going to get back in terms of record reviews or how people talk about your record, it's getting on the road and playing the new songs live.
people scary listening
We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they're listening to it. The internet is like radio for us.
believe lost downloads
I don't believe every download is a lost sale.
lying wish dies
All my lies are only wishes / I know I would die if I could come back new.
