Because I have something to say doesn't mean everyone has to take it too seriously or get too upset that it rubs them the wrong way.

Some guy is good at putting these verses together, and some guy is good at singing them. That's just the way it is.

I was born or raised in the church, so I guess the first songs I would have played would have been church songs.

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.

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.
