Everything in life influences my music. I’ve always used songwriting as a means to share what I think is profound.
I want to be surrounded by women, I want to be snuggled and cuddled and pampered.
If I’m in a relationship, that girl gets showered with letters from the road. I pour my heart into it.
I would enjoy doing what cats do: singing, sleeping, and licking my nuts.
Genre-spanning is the effort to make the live show interesting. It’s also a great way to challenge yourself as a writer.
I buy records from all across the board. I get kind of a hybrid of influences in my own music.
I listened to the radio, so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.
I think especially with the Internet and the amount of reality shows that are going on, there’s no way to keep a secret anymore, so I try to let my project be as much as reality show as I can allow it to be.
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again.
You’re an island of reality in an ocean of diarrhea.
Everything is perfect. Everything is fine. The rules of life are made up. The rules only exist in your mind. Of course there may be courtesies And closures and laws to abide, But the zeal with which you play Relies on where YOU draw the line.
I still go through stages of wanting to try other trades. When I was young I thought I’d be a magician. And then a cartoonist. Or a professional roller-skater. But there wasn’t much support for those on career day.
When I fall in love I take my time There’s no need to hurry when I’m making up my mind You can turn off the sun but I’m still gonna shine and I’ll tell you why.
It’s when you cry just a little, but you laugh in the middle that you’ve made it.
My memory is not so good so my most memorable show is the last one I played. Songs are written with intention but they only emerge in the moment.
You know, there’s still a lot of great songwriters out there who hand in songs. And there’s a lot of brilliant singers and performers out there who sing other people’s words. I enjoy doing both.
When I was in high school, The Dave Matthews Band was a local band, and that was the first time I was starting to connect with a live band that was something that wasn’t on the radio or TV.
Sometimes you forget where the heck you are but when you get on stage, you know by the look on the people’s faces and the accent in their voices where you might be.
I’m dreaming of sleeping next to you and feeling like a lost little boy in a brand new town I’m counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes And they all fall down. – Sleeping to Dream.
