I feel like I'm creeping closer to finding the situation that triggers songwriting, which is obviously an extreme of an emotion.

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

I've got my laptop, but it troubles me in many ways. I don't have Twitter or Facebook or anything like that. It ruins a romantic idea, which might just be an illusion, a sense of depth or continuity. I know there are lots of positives in the evolution of technology, but I also think it will be responsible for the end of a unique character, of a specific kind of geographical culture. The world is getting so small, and mass production is getting so big. Everything is in danger of becoming the same.

I feel sometimes that I'm in a constant state of being lost in translation, and I guess that why I write 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.

I'm a lot more observational than personal in my writing. My writing is mostly a lot of questions without answers.

I do so hate to be forced to be anything than other than what I am.
