If I Loved You, Well That's My

I Love Story Songs. It's Just, For Me, They're Harder To Write, And Sometimes They Sound Too Intended Or Something.

My Favorite Rhymes Are Sort Of Half-rhymes Where You Might Just Get The Vowel Sound The Same, But It's Not Really A True Rhyme. That Gives You Far More Flexibility To Capture The Feeling You're Trying To Express. But Sometimes It's Best Not To Have Any Rhyme.

I Do Think That Music Has A Special Ability To Get Behind Enemy Lines And Win Hearts And Minds.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez Is One Of My All-time Favorite Writers. I Feel Spiritual When Reading His Words, Even Though They're Translated. I Wish Desperately That I Could Read It In Its Original Language. I Already Feel Like I'm Going To Church When I Read Him; Imagine If I Could Read It In The Original.

I've Never Conceptualized Much Of What I Write About. Maybe, Once I'm Onto Something, I'll Conceptualize A Finished Record. I Want The Songs To Tie Together And Make Sense Together. I'm Not Like, "oh, I Want To Explore This Idea." That's Just Not How The Creative Process Works For Me. It's More Like Something Strikes Me, Or Finds Me, And Then I Wrestle With It After That. I Don't Sit Back In My Armchair, Like, "what Kind Of Philosophy Can I Explore Today?"
