Live High, Live Mighty, Live Righteously.
Equality and separation cannot exist in the same space.
You can’t live the rest of your life carrying a pain because your parents couldn’t get along. I choose to spend my life crafting a joy.
I think more obvious to others, is that I’m most vulnerable on stage. Even though I know which songs I’m going to play, I try and keep it loose and base my stage time more on what the audience is requesting of me.
I write my miserable songs. I write songs about disgust and self-pity. We’re all going to have bummer moments. That’s not the stuff I choose to share.
Cause even the stars they burn, some even fall to the earth. We’ve got a lot to learn, God knows we’re worth it.
My parents dreaded the fact that I was changing my life to do this, but I just kept doing it.
Don’t let your mind stop you from having a good time.
I had always been singing, all of my life, but it wasn’t until I got out of high school and was on my own that I didn’t have any accompaniment.
I discovered at 18 that singing and songwriting was my strength. I decided that it was closest to my heart and if I pursued it then there would be no competition. I would just live my life being myself and living my dream.
Open up your plans and damn you’re free!
I just loved the power of positive thinking, letting yourself go.
You don’t need a vacation when there’s nothing to escape from.
Well, I won’t give up on us, Even if the skies get rough I’m giving you all my love, I’m still looking up.
Anything that we’re connecting with that’s happening right now, there’s an obvious vulnerability – because we’re just fragile human beings in the middle of a just-now expression.
For every action there’s a reaction. And also, for every action there’s an equal and opposite criticism.
A lot of those ideal towns are all starting to look the same, the specifics are starting to disappear. So we need to retain a love for life, a love for one’s family, a love for where one’s really from.
I look around my life and it’s hard to believe that music has given me all that I have.
Songs always get better after you start playing them live.
I meet people every single day who have heard the music and incorporated it into their lives. I feel like I have a tribe all around the world.
