I'm just kind of lazy and messed up and self-managed - self-mismanaged.

I'm just a sucker for new-agey synth sounds and instrumentation. I wasn't really thinking of soft rock, but I know that kind of quiet-storm format uses a lot of these sounds.

The more I abandon ideas of myself as a musician, the better a singer I become.

I'm not really sure that I have the same definition of things as other people. Like, when people talk about being "engaged" with the audience, I'm not exactly sure what they mean.

I'm just kind of lazy and messed up and self-managed - self-mismanaged.

I'm probably more into a more spacious, even meditative, quiet delivery of singing.

It's actually really stereotypical that someone should be 40 and mellow out, but I think it's more about trying to conjure up a different intensity in my head, one where I'm more focused as a singer and hands-on with music and more exacting, and less trying to furiously fit a thousands thoughts into a four minute song.
