Sometimes colleagues in performance are absolutely astonishing.
I get some flak for and some resistance from colleagues for because I'm interested in storytelling. I mean what I like about songwriting is songs used to tell a story.
I read to see myself in other people's lives.
The man i'll never be, Who remembers him?
I was raised to be charming, not sincere.
A song is such a short form ... that 'the slightest flaw seems like a mountain.' And so every song needs to be revised 'til it's close to perfection... But achieving perfection takes a lot of energy.
