I've got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.

Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.

I do sometimes look back at things I've written in the past, and think, 'I just don't remember being the person who wrote that.'
