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.

A dream is a massive magic trick of the mind. No amount of science could explain away the mysterious wonder.

Isn't it strange how we move out lives for another day? Like skipping a beat, what if a great wave should wash us all away?

Everything good needs replacing

What I want is what I've not got, but what I need is all around me.

I'm a fairly tormented artist, and I'm less willing to indulge myself in self-pity, outside of songwriting.

Because one of the properties of music is to entertain and to, I don't mean this lightly, distract us from the things that pull us down. Music should be not only a source for political ideas but also a source of hope.
