A Lot Of My Songs, They're Like

It's Like — I Don't Know, Sometimes It's Like Chasing A Pretty Girl On The Beach. And Things I Never Thought I Could Do... I Can Do.

I Went Down To Houston And I Stopped In San 'antone, I Passed Up The Station For The Bus. I Was Trying To Find Me Something, But I Wasn't Sure Just What... Man, I Ended Up With Pockets Full Of Dust.

I Think I've Been Incredibly Raw My Whole Career. A Lot Of People Spend A Lot Of Time Trying To Look Cool And Spend Time Being Guarded And Putting Up Walls. I Just Never Had The Time. It Seems More Honest To Say, 'hey, This Is Who I Am.'

It Sounds Like I'm Channeling Or Something, And I Don't Really Fully Understand What It Is. I'll Get A Piece Of Paper And Write Down What I Think Is Coming To Me. And I'll Play It Once. Whether It's Being Recorded Or Not, I Can Then Usually Remember It For A Sometimes Shocking Amount Of Time.

For Any Producer I've Ever Worked With, Their Toughest Job Is To Convince Me To Not To Obscure My Vocals. A Lot Of People Don't Like The Sound Of Their Own Voice On, Like, Cassette Tape Or Something. It's Like That For Me, And Other Songwriters I Know. Like, "oh God, That's What I Sound Like?"
