When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.

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'm always looking to find order within the chaos. And sometimes when my life gets fairly chaotic, I'll take a walk outside. I think about the order and the perfection of galaxies of planets in orbit and traveling around space and thinking how chaotic the wars and divorces and riots on our planet must look from outer space.

Music is a handshake where I, as a songwriter, am only part of the equation. I love that, the fact that you can make the song your own.

Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?

It’s a good thing my parents named me Jon because that’s what everyone calls me.

Experience is all I have. I equate song-writing with archeology. Every day you dig. You dig into different places within yourself - even finding places that you've rarely been. And buried within the soil is song.
