It's Outrageous To Line Your Pockets Off

I Just Said, You Know, This Is A Great Track But This Lyric, I Don't Believe It. It Sounds Like I'm Trying To Say Something, Instead Of It Naturally Coming Out Of Me, Like I Was Saying Something That I Already Knew. Anyway, I Can't Remember What It Was. And Either I Threw It All Out Or I Threw 90 Percent Of It Out, And Kept A Line Or Two. That's Happened A Couple Of Times To Me. Not Too Often, But A Couple Of Times. Very Aggravating When It Does Happen.

Lord, I Am A Surgeon And Music Is My Knife. It Cuts Away My Sorrow And Purifies My Life.

I'm Always Going Forward Toward Something, And That Something Is Usually An Album, Because I Like To Record. I Probably Like To Record More Than I Like To Write.

Instead Of Thinking In Terms Of Chords, I Think Of Voice-leading; That Is, Melody Line And Bass Line, And Where The Bass Line Goes. If You Do That, You'll Have The Right Chord. [these Voices] Will Give You Some Alternatives, And You Can Play Those Different Alternatives To Hear Which One Suits Your Ear. Keep The Bass Line Moving So You Don't Stay In One Spot: If You Have An Interesting Bass Line And You Roll It Against The Melody, The Chords Are Going To Come Out Right.

Was A Sunny Day, Not A Cloud In The Sky. Not A Negative Word Was Heard.
