I'm just a regular guy, but if you cross me it will get physical.
Writing songs is about trying to connect with people on a deeper spiritual level - but I'm not a fan of contemporary Christian music.
Im not interested in fad songs.
I am not opposed to doing a side project, like Death Cab for Cutie, where it's completely different from my own band.
The Beatles are the most credible band in the history of music.
I think the best songs are being written by the very under-stated, under-appreciated indie artists. The thing that separates them from mainstream success is they either consciously or unknowingly refuse to deliver on a big chorus.
