It's Hard To Be Bipolar And Bicoastal

It Sounds Like I'm Channeling Or Something, And I Don't Really Fully Understand What It Is. I'll Get A Piece Of Paper And Write Down What I Think Is Coming To Me. And I'll Play It Once. Whether It's Being Recorded Or Not, I Can Then Usually Remember It For A Sometimes Shocking Amount Of Time.

I Went Down To Houston And I Stopped In San 'antone, I Passed Up The Station For The Bus. I Was Trying To Find Me Something, But I Wasn't Sure Just What... Man, I Ended Up With Pockets Full Of Dust.

There Are Times When I Want To Be Plainspoken About My Feelings In A Song. But There Are Other Times When It's Really Good To Try And Get My Head Around Different Kinds Of Song Structures, Or Maybe I Might Get Turned On By Trying To Write A Song That Would Fit In This One Scene In A Movie. And By The End Of All This, You Just End Up With A Bunch Of Different Ideas. And Songs Are Really Just Ideas.

When You're Young, You Get Sad, And You Get High.

This Is Going To Sound Crazy, But I Can Hear Music In My Head. I Can Imagine A Piano Or A Guitar Playing, And I Can Sort Of Think Out.
