My Head’s Under Water But I’m Breathing

We're Just Ordinary People. We Don't Know Which Way To Go.

I Think It's Hard To Really Write A Song That Will Educate Someone Because Songs Are Meant To Be ... You Don't Want To Be Too Didactic In A Song Because It Doesn't Make For Good Music. And I Think The Role Of Songs Can Be To Inspire People But There Needs To Education And Prose To Back That Up.

We Want To Do Things That Are Interesting, Great Storytelling, Some Of It Is Gonna Be More Fun And Funny, Some Of It Is More Serious And Talking About Interesting Issues That We Think Are Provocative And Interesting To Us. Kind Of On A More Political Level. But, You Know, Just Things That We Find Interesting That We Think Stories That Need To Be Told.

I Listen To All Those Kinds Of Music, From Classic Soul To Hip-hop To Brazilian Music To, You Know, Jazz To Indie To Alternative... And For Me, When I'm Making Music, It's All In My Head, And All Those Influences In My Head. So If Something Comes To Me That's A Reference From A Different Genre Then People Are Used To Hearing From Me, I'm Not Afraid To Go There With It.

My Mother, I Want Her To Like My Music, But She's Not Exactly My Target Audience. So I Care More About The Fans In General, Just Making Sure They Enjoy What I Do.
