Sometimes it's nice to be able to reflect on the music itself and then write lyrics that I feel anyone can relate to. It's not my dreaming tree that is dead. The feeling of a loss of hope is universal. There are moments that we've all felt a little bit of it, so I don't think it is something that is too hard to identify with.

I definitely like the oddballs. There's a song called 'Little Thing,' which is the only song that I have recorded that has no words. And it's the one that I get past my critic inside me.

The melodies are always the most important part to me. I am pulled more to the groove than the chord progression. After you find the groove, you find the most simple chord progressions and then sit inside that groove.

Life it seems a struggle between what we think and what we see

We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace.

Don’t you rob yourself of what you’re feeling; don’t rob yourself of all that you could be.

Everyday should be a good day to die
