Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.

Ever since time began: What song is not about love? Whether it's about love from man to woman or parent to child, or grandmother to granddaughter... It just goes on and on. Or whether it's the love of one's country.

If you come at the record feeling really happy and optimistic, it can be incredibly beautiful and uplifting, and if you come at it in a bleak moment, it can feel like a very dark place to share. It's all down to the listener.

I think blues music is music of the soul. Of course, there are other forms. You could call some classical music blues music in that way.

I am someone that follows the news and reads newspapers yet what do you believe and what don't you.

I find it hard myself to feel justified to sing in a very politically direct way about war or social conditions because I feel so ignorant of a lot of it.

There is a thread connecting you no matter how far away you are from someone and you know I have two or three relationships in my life that are like that.
