I have a car in Nebraska. When I bought it, they gave me a satellite radio, and there's an 'indie-rock' station. It's just nothing I'm interested in.

To me, a political song is also a personal song. Most political activism has been driven by empathy for other people and the desire for a world that's less divisive. Even if songs aren't overtly political, they can make a listener more empathetic.

And me I'm in the bathroom crying out my eyelids because it's hard to be a man when you're scared, just like a little kid.

They say it's better to bury your sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the spring to wake from its sleep and burst into green.

If the world could remain within a frame like a painting on the wall, I think we'd see the beauty then and stand staring in awe.

And me I'm in my bedroom drawing in my notebook Because my hand thinks I'm an artist But my heart knows I'm a poet It's just words they mean so little to me.

You could be happy, the minute you try. Why won't you try? Oh won't you try?
