I think in a lot of ways unconditional love is a myth. My mom's the only reason I know it's a real thing.

I liked the idea of having a record that's reggae-influenced but not musically, just lyrically. I think there's so much about Rasta culture that's interesting. Just the idea of preaching one-ness, that we're all in this together. Which I suppose is at the root of most any religion. You're gonna find it, if taken in the right context.

I swear that I'm dying slowly but it's happening, and if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere... just take me there.

My favorite rhymes are sort of half-rhymes where you might just get the vowel sound the same, but it's not really a true rhyme. That gives you far more flexibility to capture the feeling you're trying to express. But sometimes it's best not to have any rhyme.

I love story songs. It's just, for me, they're harder to write, and sometimes they sound too intended or something.

The only thing major labels can really offer is money.

We, the Desaparecidos, are perfectly prepared for people to hate what we're saying or not like what we're saying.
