I Use To Be Panicked, But Know

While The Things I Do Kill Me, They Just Tell Me To Relax

Not To Discount My Music, But I'm Always Suspicious Of The Music That I Make On Some Level, As To How Valid It Is. Or Maybe Not "valid," But How Important.

I Like The Idea That Within The Structure Of The Song, Some Kind Of Built-in Improvisation Keeps Them Fragile And In Their Moment, So That I'm Not Projecting So Much, So That My Perception Of The Song Doesn't Interfere With What Its Real Body Is. Sometimes It's Like Telling A Story That I Heard In Passing, And I Don't Want It To Become Completely Mine.

It's Really Very Easy For Me To Be In The Cardinals, Because I Bring My Voice, My Guitar, And My Songs To Them, And Then We All Play Around To Find Out What Works.

I'm Not The Cool Thing, And I'm Not Going To Be The Cool Thing For A Really Long Time, And It Isn't Like I'm Not The Cool Thing And I Sell 3,000,000 Records Every Time. I'm Not The Cool Thing, And I Barely Sell 150,000 Records, If That, Ever. So I'm Obviously Working Really Hard To Sustain Myself. I'm Actually A Target To Be Dropped, Because That's Just Not Enough Records For A Big Company.
