I like being swept up in weather and observing it as something beautiful and giant. It makes you feel so minute. The only thing as big as that are your thoughts about it, which can expand exponentially while your physical self is just trapped. It's a pretty awesome feeling, in the original sense of the word.

It's amazing when you find a photo of your grandparents when they were young because it's black and white and the care that they put into their appearance back then was so grown up and specific to that era.

But that constant adjustment and adaptation to your new environment, all the variables are the same. There's always a promoter, there's always a rider, there's always a shower, and there's always a stage.

There's something about live recordings now that's too hi-fi.

I don't think that village idea of actually knowing what you're contributing to the whole exists anymore.

Songwriting is a really fortunate skill to have to frame living and to find new ways to observe things you're going through.

Now, there's just so much imagery. Imagine what our grandkids are going to be able to see of us?
