You make me feel like a natural man

Sometimes I get a lyric, and the lyric, you know, comes off the page, and goes into my brain and comes out with a melody. Other times, I may create a melody first.

You're beautiful as you feel.

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely, nothing else to do but close my mind. I sure hope the road don't come to own me, there's so many dreams I've yet to find. But you're so far away.

One of the things that I try to be conscious about in crafting a song is the concept of bringing it home. I like to bring it somewhere familiar, someplace that people feel it's resolved, it's settled.

I went to the High School for Performing Arts in New York for acting. I've studied it on and off for years and have done some theater and film.

Once the inspiration comes, that directs where the perspiration goes.
