Football Taught Me How Hard You Had

As A Songwriter, You're Never Off - For Me, Anyway. There's A Certain Mentality Of People That Decide, "oh, We're Going To Try To Write Songs From This Time Of The Day To This Time Of The Day." Almost Treat It Like A Real Job. I Can't Do That. I've Never Been Able To Write Songs Like That. You Never Know When Something Creative Is Going To Hit You, Or Emotion Or Whatever. You Can Take It, And Turn It Into Something That Makes Somebody Feel Something. I Love That About My Job.

The Title [of The Album 'the Big Revival']alone Fit What I Was Feeling. It Defined What I Was Going Through. That Year Off Was A Time To Revive, To Reset, To Reclaim, To Revitalize And To Re-focus. It Was A Revival Of How I Made Music, How I Presented It And My Connection With The Fans.

When I'm Onstage I Feel Changed.

I'm Proud Of The Fact That I'm At A Point In My Career That If I Want To Take A Little Bit Of A Left Turn And Make An Album That Is More Hushed, More Acoustic And More Personal, That I Can Do It.

When I Was Playing For Tips In College, I Felt A Fire In My Soul. I Had The Same Principle Of Focus That I Had Learned Playing Football.
