I think sunrises are rarer for me, but sunset is my favourite time of day.

Your faith is what you do daily, you can't separate your heart from your body and keep them both alive, they're almost the same thing.

Music is what I do; Christ is why I do it.

Pain is a common emotion in many of my songs mainly because I often don't know other ways to express it adequately. In my songs I wrestle with the things that I don't understand.

I use to think that the friction was a bad thing. Everything is to ease pain in our society; pain is very much the enemy. And I don't think that's true. Tension is a good thing. To be pulled tight: that's the only way you can make a proper noise on the guitar or violin.

If it doesn't break your heart it isn't love

Being a creator of a song I get to take all these broken fragments of failure and chaos and weave together something beautiful and meaningful. Decay. Death. Pain. Fall. And if God is a songwriter then these fallen leaves of mine can be redeemed
