bands believe clue felt good love lyrics poetry talked
I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.
heart air people
A lot of the time it feels like… music is some sort of excuse to be a human. It’s kind of like people need that excuse to go and put their arms in the air and sing their hearts out.
song unique crowds
It's a unique thing to stand in front of a crowd and sing your songs.
holiness approach muster
I approach my life haphazardly. Not much holiness and only as much wisdom as I can muster.
enemy apathy bigger
If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could've won.
christian
I don't even call myself a Christian.
song writing mirrors
When you write a song it's sometimes in a desperate moment whn you can't really articulate it. What I love about lyrics is what T.S. Eliot said: 'Good poetry is felt before it is heard.' I'm a believer in that. It's those moments when you sit yourself down, and talk to yourself in the mirror.
