american-musician consuming created gotta lacks music word
I think the word soul has gotta come into it. Music that's created just for consuming lacks that soul, that swing, that feeling.
should left
Making music should not be left to the professionals.
growing-up want grows
When I grow up I want to be an old woman.
mistake apology want
If I have something to apologize, I want to be the first one to step up and make that apology. I don't want anyone to broker it for me. I don't want anyone to take the hit for me. If I have anything to apologize for, I'm only human. I'm prone to making mistakes.
differences knowing fit
I resent like hell that I was maybe eighteen before I ever heard the 'L' word. It would have made all the difference for me had I grown up knowing that the reason I didn't fit in was because they hadn't told me there were more categories to fit into.
media use social
If I'm going to be held captive by social media, I'm going to use it against itself.
vantage-point records deals
I'm one of the few that comes from this vantage point: I never tried to get a record deal.
jesus two passionate
I'm passionate about two things: Jesus and liberation.
responsibility thinking noses
At one time I was a nihilistic punk with a mohican and a ring in my nose. I think in the course of time I'll find a middle ground, but I also carry that sense of responsibility. I'm in a position to defeat stereotypes.
media culture mainstream
Mainstream media would convince you that there's commercial culture and that's all - but this other music is still here.
long secret life-is
The secret to a long life is knowin' when it's time to go.
philosophical circles ran
Their lives ran in circles so small They thought they'd seen it all
jesus prayer mean
I was in a prayer meeting yesterday. You gotta appreciate how scared, how scares folks on that side of the equation are. From their vantage point -- I really shouldnt say their -- cause its mine too, we are nearly at the end of time and from our vantage point, were going to be I think maybe Chinese Water torture is going to be the means the method, once Prop 8 gets instated and once preachers are held at gunpoint and forced to marry the homosexuals, Im pretty sure that that will be the signal for Jesus to come on back.
soul devil slippery-slope
I walked along that slippery slope where if you fail through lack of faith, you sell your soul to the devil.
