I always lived by railroads, and I would find places to just look at the horizon, and I always expected there was something somewhere else. And sometimes I think that's more a metaphysical somewhere else rather than just to get out of the town.
From Jason Molina
In songwriting, I needed language. And I always believed in singing about what I do.
I write about eight hours a day, and I throw away most of what I write.
I feel a lot of guilt about the freedom that being an artist provides. I ask myself, 'Why am I not the guy emptying the trash, why am I the guy who is watching the guy empty the trash?'
As a city, Chicago really affords me an environment that I am really happy creating in. It's an easy place to live in a lot of ways; it's a great community to be making music in.
At times, I will get in the studio and force myself to just write an entire front-to-back record, and 'Let Me Go' is one of these.
