There's probably not any kind of music that means more to me than gospel and soul. I heard somebody say that soul music is being proud of where you're from and what you've accomplished, and letting that show. Losing some self-consciousness and ego to join something larger. I like that idea a lot, just letting it all hang out, and on this album we did our best at that.

Everything alive must die. Every building built to the sky will fall. Don't try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie.

Internet is radio for a lot of people. It's a place to get music and hear music, and no amount of clamping down will change that.

I don't believe every download is a lost sale.

All my lies are only wishes / I know I would die if I could come back new.

I always think its easier for me to write without thinking about the strict meter that's required for songs and song structures and things like that. It's much easier to just write on the page.

I don't know if experimental is a word I would ever use comfortably.
