I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.
I wanted to write songs which I think is a different thing. I wanted to write music that is informed by folk music. The chord progressions are obvious references.
I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes.
Never get so attached to a poem that you forget truth that lacks lyricism.
I don't think I'm abnormal and I think that lets people down.
Lyrics are very different. There is a clear line between that and a poem. Something that has been a source of great excitement and delight for me is this idea that I get to rhyme.
