I Kind Of Like Being Depressed.

Lately I've Been Falling Asleep Listening To 'common One' By Van Morrison, Specifically The Song 'summertime In England.' It's 15 Minutes Long, So To Make It Through The Entire Song Is A Real Task Unto Itself, But Van Has That Emotional Payoff That Makes Even His Most Tiresome Songs More Powerful Than Most People's Entire Catalog.

I Don't Play An Instrument - I Just Write In My Head, And I Usually Hear Fully Formed Songs. 'we Are Young' Turned Out So Much Like It Was In My Head. But It Also Exceeded All My Expectations.

I Idolised Bands Like Pearl Jam And Smashing Pumpkins, Who Wanted To Reach As Many People As They Could.

I Always Wanted To Be A Singer, But None Of My Friends Thought I Could Sing.

It's As Simple As Finding Something On The Street And Then Writing A Jingle. If I'm Driving And I Have My Turn Signal On And It's Rhythmic, Maybe I Just Write A Song To That.
