I Can Bear A Lot But Not

I Recorded Harp First Or Singing First. I Recorded It All Together. Part Of The Reason Is That I Don't Know How To Play The Songs Without Also Singing. I Forget How They Progress. I Don't Think That Any Of Them Are Verse, Chorus, Verse, And So On. They Are Not Simple.

My Voice In Combination With The Harp - Which, By The Way, I Use Because I've Played It My Entire Life, Not To Make Some Statement About The Harp - Somehow Has ... Coloured People's Interpretations Of The Music And Projected An Idea Of Childlike Or Fairytale Quality Or Innocence. Which Sometimes Prevents People From Listening To The Songs The Way I Would Like Them To Be Listened To.

I Did Spend A Year In High School Being Obsessed With Fleetwood Mac.

I Wanted To Write Songs Which I Think Is A Different Thing. I Wanted To Write Music That Is Informed By Folk Music. The Chord Progressions Are Obvious References.

Lyrics Are Very Different. There Is A Clear Line Between That And A Poem. Something That Has Been A Source Of Great Excitement And Delight For Me Is This Idea That I Get To Rhyme.
