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.

As I've gotten older, I have gotten a lot better at finding the pleasures of making music despite the business of it.

I am really pleased to hear each of my songs described as a total surprise. This is what I want!

It's funny because my main awkwardness around writing the song had little to do with the method.

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

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.

Mostly, the people in "the room" are paid lobbyists representing interests that could afford to pay them. No wonder policy isn't being made that helps smaller, independent musicians or those unaffiliated with a larger entity.
