If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.

What you do with your life is ascribing more to what you invest your time in. If you spend a lot of time on your phone, you're ascribing more worship to that. Anything can become, by that definition, some form of idol or deity or ultimate worth in your life.

I often use music as a handle for very emotionally explosive substances: love, sex, God, fear, doubt, politics, the economics of the soul - these are daunting thoughts in the back of my mind that I rarely visit without the safety gloves of song.

As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.

Faith, hope, and love remain. But the greatest of these is love.

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.

Think deeply about life, it's worth it!
