Be Alone Even When There's A Million

Any Kind Of Anthemic Song, For The Most Part, They're On The Positive Side Of Things. It's Not Hard To Identify When A Melody Is Just One Degree Too Complicated Or One Degree Too Simple And Where That Line Of Pop Memorability Lies.

When I Stopped Touring, It Was Like Trying To Stop A Bullet Train Or A Giant Lead Ball Falling From A 100 Stories Up - It's Momentum And It Doesn't Just Stop. I Drew A Line In The Calendar And Made It A Brick Wall And Just Stopped Dead. There Was No Other Way. It Would've Taken Another 100 Years To Slow Down Slowly. I Had To Let Myself Imagine A Calendar With No Lines; When Every Single Day Is Being Predetermined Six Months In Advance, There's No More Fluidity To Time.

Be Alone Even When There's A Million People Around, Because Tomorrow It Will Be A Different Million People.

I Find It Pretty Fascinating How Humans Keep Gravitating Towards These Giant Centers. I Went To This Walled Medieval Village In France This Year, And It Was Truly The Most Crazy, Beautiful, Bizarre Place I've Ever Been.
