This Is Going To Sound Crazy, But

A Lot Of My Songs, They're Like Puzzle Pieces, And There's Just One Way To Put Them Together. You Could, If You Needed To, Get The Scissors Out And Cut Up Things To Make Them Work. But I Don't Want To Do That.

To Make A Song Is A Gift, And Once It's Done It Keeps Evolving And Changing And Becomes A Tool To Interact With Other People. It's Like A Conversation.

I Use To Be Panicked, But Know I'm Curious!

Sometimes An Idea From Six Years Ago Will Come To Me Out Of The Blue. And Maybe I Haven't Even Seen The Lyrics I Wrote Down, But I'll Just Have This Physical Memory Of Having Written It, And In My Mind I Can See The Piece Of Paper, And The Words I Wrote Down, And Then By Muscle Memory, I'll Remember The Chords That Go Along With It.

When I Start Working On A Batch Of Tunes - Like Roughly 10 Solid Tunes - I Always Know There'll Be Another 10 To Follow, Because For Every Song I Invest A Lot Of Time In, There's Another Song Waiting Behind It.
