I didn't realize at the time that if I wrote about something, I was going to have to talk about something. A lot. Ad nauseum.

When I'm recording something (especially because I produce my own music) I might consider how hard it would be to replicate a song on stage.

I wanted to touch on the piece where often politicians use "god" to excuse their actions.

So many policy decisions that effect musicians are being made without any input from musicians at all.

I learned how to have a little bit of distance when I explained songs and a little bit of distance when I wrote them. I think this is more interesting any way in art.

I started to understand what the song could be about. The ache of nostalgia even for things we don't like, the commitment to keep moving despite that ache. It made me think of how I relate to my privilege - as a white person, as someone who grew up upper middle class.
