Working in factories and things like that, it just puts a little hair on your chest.

For a while, it was something to try to push at people, playing old murder ballads and being upset about everything I was seeing around me. But now I feel a lot more at peace with it.

I'm just a guy that sings songs because that's what he likes to do, I guess.

Real music is what I consider to be uncorporatized music, the music that just happens. I feel like that's not a very well-known thing.
