hard home tend
When I'm not working is when I tend to freak out a bit. It's hard for me to just stay home.
feeling gone good start
It's a good way to start the tour. Now that we know something has gone wrong, we're feeling optimistic.
fluid imagine music people record
I can't imagine how people will react to my music. For me, it's a really fluid process from one record to the next, but it's really up to the listener.
directly front
I like babies, but not in the front row. I don't want to sing directly to a baby.
continued music saved sounds
It sounds cheesy, but music has saved me in a lot of ways. If I had just continued acting, I don't think I would be alive.
envisioned solo
I never envisioned myself as a solo artist; I was always part of a band.
opposite roll scene
You never know how things are going to turn out in a movie. You can imagine a scene one way, and it can turn out to be completely the polar opposite of what you expected. You just have to roll with the punches.
appealed classic constantly female great hear laura learned outside playing song stood structures vinyl voice
My mother had a great vinyl collection, and she was constantly playing female singer-songwriters. I first learned about classic song structures by listening to them, and Laura Nyro particularly stood out. Her voice was outside what you'd usually hear on the radio; that really appealed to me.
actual massive means ticket
I think the idea of opening up for a massive band is always better than actually doing it, and having your name on the ticket means more than the actual set.
aside bit cynical elements expression god hope putting realize references sort surprised thinking
I was kind of surprised after making the record, like, 'Wow, there are a lot of god references here!' I didn't realize I was thinking about that so much. There are a lot of cynical elements to these songs, and there's sort of the expression of dissatisfaction ? but not without hope at the end. It's about putting all that aside and having a little bit of faith.
forces gone grieving includes lose might wonder
Certainly, we all wonder what is beyond, and when you lose a loved one, I think part of the grieving process includes where that person might have gone or if you'll ever see them again. I think it forces you to look up to the sky, to the cosmos.
faux people travel
I wouldn't call it a faux pas, but I have about 12 tracksuits. I always travel in a tracksuit. I feel it makes people happy when they see me.
creepy rather slightly
It would be nice to create something that's healing rather than slightly creepy and darkly judgmental!
computers digital pro records tools
I am a child of digital generation. I have done most of the records with Rilo Kiley on computers, on Pro Tools or other digital programs.
