I listen to a pretty wide variety of albums so as to get influenced by nothing particular.

I read a lot of prose poetry and get inspired by more-so just a state of mind.

In the recording process I do listen to other artists a lot and other albums and albums I am loving lately, or ones that I still love that came out in the 80s or 70s.

People can smell the bullshit and see through the curtains. People know when something's real and when something isn't, and when some dude really means what he's saying or singing, or when he doesn't.

Prose poetry is not set to a melody or music so there's something freeing about it.

I'm not avoiding specifics, but I've always written songs from more of a global standpoint.

I write songs so that people can make them into what it means to them as well.
