It's gotta be fun, if it's not fun it's not worth doing. Music is about having a good time feeling your soul, whether it makes you laugh or it makes you cry, just so long as you feel as much as you can. That's the mission of Pono.

With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life.

I want to live, I want to give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold.

There's more to a picture than meets the eye.

I feel like I could be likened to an old hound circling on a rug for the last five years.

Wise it is to comprehend the whole.

With Crazy Horse, it's all one big, growing, smoldering sound, and I'm part of it. It's like gliding, or some sort of natural surfing.
