People want to hear about the extremes of human nature. They want things that are larger than their own lives, and more romantic, and not necessarily of their own experiences.
From Richard Thompson
But music can save your life sometimes. It probably saved me from working in a bank or something. That's a kind of salvation right there.
I try to make songs visual and tactile to kind of put you into the action.
I like the idea of playing in unison with yourself.
When you stand up acoustic in front of an audience, you really are a man without any clothes on. And that can be fun - it depends how much of an exhibitionist you are, I suppose. I quite enjoy it.
I'm always making a conscious effort to be viable and accessible.
I probably wrote three-quarters of the songs without an instrument in my hands.
All audiences should be slightly off balance.
It's amazing what some people read into songs.
I just like to entertain myself by sitting down and writing songs.
