It Was Never My First Choice To

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.

Music Is My Thing. It's My Thing; It's What I Love. It's What I Do. It's Football To Me; It's Christmas To Me; Religion To Me; Poetry To Me.

I Like The Idea That Within The Structure Of The Song, Some Kind Of Built-in Improvisation Keeps Them Fragile And In Their Moment, So That I'm Not Projecting So Much, So That My Perception Of The Song Doesn't Interfere With What Its Real Body Is. Sometimes It's Like Telling A Story That I Heard In Passing, And I Don't Want It To Become Completely Mine.

They Don't Make Coats For This Kind Of Cold

It's Hard To View Myself Sometimes As Even In The Same League As Other Musicians, Mainly Because There's So Much Music Before Me. I Feel Overinformed By Different Styles And Different Possibilities.
