If you're up on a stage, naked and solo and singing songs to people, there's not much place to hide, so you may as well confess what you want to confess and say what you want to say, whatever that is. Some songs just turn out as being more about me, and some are more through the eyes of other people, or third-person descriptions of people.

I think you can refine what you do, and become more consistent. And you write better songs that have a better shape and a better feeling. You evolve into and out of things, and go through stages, but, ultimately, you do improve.

I like the idea of playing in unison with yourself.

Every day I'll wear your memory like a favorite shirt upon my back

I'm sure every pattern has been covered, but it's nice to think you might dwell on some that other people don't.

Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really cheating, and everything becomes a compromise.

I want people to come to my music without prejudice. I want them to get the music first. And who I am isn't that important. If they like the songs to me that's a good thing.
