I don't like being in public with headphones on. I don't know how people can do it. It seems like you're so cut off from your environment. I feel like I'd get hit by a car.
Jeff TweedyTo be honest, Iโm more concerned with living my life than writing about my life. I feel like thatโs really the main thing I know now that I didnโt know when I was younger โ and that is that you have to have a life to write about one. If youโre more worried about having experiences so you can write about them, I think youโre kinda being ridiculous, and I think a lot of young people look at it like that.
Jeff TweedyI still love poetic imagery. I love the idea of using surrealist speak to generate lyrical content and I love the way English can be exciting in and of itself.
Jeff TweedyEverything alive must die. Every building built to the sky will fall. Don't try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie.
Jeff TweedyIt doesn't necessarily matter if I'm onstage or not. I just find the communal experience of a rock concert, or any type of music performance, achieves a kind of transcendence that I associate with spirituality. It's the closest thing to what I think people expect church to be like. Or maybe just what I've always thought church should be. You lose yourself, and at the same time come to the realization or understanding that you're part of something bigger than yourself.
