They Don't Make Coats For This Kind

Words May Move, But They're Never Moving Fast Enough.

I Think It Would Be Wrong To Consider 'ashes And Fire' A Love Album. The Record Is Obsessed With Time. I Believe That There Is A Kinder View Of The Self On This Record.

For Any Producer I've Ever Worked With, Their Toughest Job Is To Convince Me To Not To Obscure My Vocals. A Lot Of People Don't Like The Sound Of Their Own Voice On, Like, Cassette Tape Or Something. It's Like That For Me, And Other Songwriters I Know. Like, "oh God, That's What I Sound Like?"

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

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.
