I speak because I can to anyone I trust enough to listen.

Oh! To not need cognitive justification for every single thing. Wouldn't that be a life?

I definitely tell things at arm's length but that is conscious. No part of me wants everybody to know what's going on.

Now that I'm feeling the responsibilities of adulthood, the choices we make become an incredible weight.

I thought ‘I wonder what will happen if I try and root myself somewhere?‘ Look back over the past eight years.

I'm a bit of a magpie: whatever I see or hear or read feeds into the songs.

I remember my father playing me Same Situation when I was a nipper, and saying how nobody since has done melodies as well as Joni Mitchell. I concur. The thing that most affected me was just her resonance, and that is something she must have been born with.
