I've always been serious that way, trying to evolve to a more conscious state. Funny thing about that,though. You tweak yourself,looking for more love, less lust, more compassion, less jealousy. You keep tweaking, keep adjusting those knobs until you can no longer find the original settings. In some sense,the original settings are exactly what I'm looking for-a return to the easygoing guy i was before my world got complicated, the nice guy who took things as they came and laughed so hard the blues would blow away in the summer wind.

Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.

I would like to know how it feels for my desperation to get louder.

The same love that made me laugh makes my cry.

If you start sweet, then you've got somewhere to go.

Don't cheat yourself out of music. Music is one thing. The music business is another thing. Save enough of yourself to keep living anyway. Save enough joy in your heart to enjoy it. Let your reward be in the doing of it.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness every day.
