I Wrote The Album [metals] In The

A Year's A Long Time, But It Also Flickers Past In No Time At All.

I Spent Some Time In France, Visited Egypt And Mexico City. I Hung Out, Biked Around, Planted Some Tomatoes. I Did Everything Except Wake Up In A New Town Everyday. It Was Really Boring. It's Just Life.

I Said I'd Stop For A Year, Which Was Inconceivable To Me And Everyone Around Me. It Seemed Like So Long. But Then, After That Year, I Looked Up And I Still Hadn't Gotten My Land Legs Back At All.

When I Stopped Touring, It Was Like Trying To Stop A Bullet Train Or A Giant Lead Ball Falling From A 100 Stories Up - It's Momentum And It Doesn't Just Stop. I Drew A Line In The Calendar And Made It A Brick Wall And Just Stopped Dead. There Was No Other Way. It Would've Taken Another 100 Years To Slow Down Slowly. I Had To Let Myself Imagine A Calendar With No Lines; When Every Single Day Is Being Predetermined Six Months In Advance, There's No More Fluidity To Time.

For Me, The Best Part Is People Who Watch The Movie And Tell Me It Inspired Them To Collaborate With Their Friend Who's A Photographer Or Filmmaker.
