The Key To Change Is To Let

The Religion I Have Is Music. Even The Times I Have Headaches, When I'm Singing, I Can't Feel Them. My Dad Used To Say That, Too, Especially Near The End Of His Life. He Would Be In Pain - A Lot Of Pain - And He Said The Only Time When He Didn't Feel Pain Was When He Performed And Sang.

My Record Label Is Treating Me Like I'm A New Artist, Which Is Exciting After All This Time.

Think About All Of The Families Where The Father Is A Doctor And The Son Is A Doctor Or Generations Of Coal Miners. Why Did They Go Into That Line Of Work? Because That's What They Were Taught. Or Was It In Their Genes? It's Not An Either/or Question. It's Both. I Was Inclined In That Way. I Was Sensitive To Music And Poetry, And It Was Around Me Growing Up.

But There's Nothing That Gives Me More Thrill Than When I'm Writing And A Couplet Works. I Find The Right Rhyme, Or It's Just Perfect. There's Nothing That Exciting.

I Found It Was Really Impossible For Me To Write Songs When I Couldn't Sing.
