Sometimes, the best songs are the ones you write without any pen and paper or audio recording device or guitar in your hands. Because there's nothing between you and the melody; it's just a great lyric.

The biggest problem facing our world today is a lack of hope and a lack of meaning. [It's] basically just a postmodern world in which there is no right or wrong, no better or worse.

For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.

There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.

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

Think deeply about life, it's worth it!

If we truly believe in an all-powerful God, then there's going to be beauty and truth to be found in all sorts of different places.
