I often write either really early in the morning, or really late at night.

At this point in my life Id like to live as if only love mattered.

I found myself in the middle of a race riot when I was about 14 years old, and I found someone pointing a gun at me and telling me to run or they'd shoot me.

Love's a recurring theme through my work.

I see some recurring themes: things that feel threaded together, some symbolic references, and songs about some of the big questions, like death. There are a lot of references to weather, too!

Have faith in humankind a respect for what is earthly and an unfaltering belief in peace and understanding

I'm never sure if I'll ever write another song, what the song will be about and if what initially sparked the beginning of a song might complete it.
