I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.

I usually write from my own experience, and that's definitely a true statement for me. I think having a song about desiring to live and wanting to get it right, which many of my songs do, often I have to clarify that I haven't figured it out yet.

Inside all of us, we know the truth of life that there's something more than the next new cell phone or gadget or relationship and that our heart beats in time with the sunset.

The truth will set you free, but it's only slightly less scary than hell and a whole lot harder to get there.

I don’t think we can solve the outside problems until we solve the ones within.

I'm not really one to be on camera, I'd rather be writing songs.

From the shore, the ocean is forever. It's a beautiful, dangerous place. Music is tied to the sea, born from the struggle, looking for hope. Because hope belongs in the dark places.
