Music has to change. I don't want to stay the same forever.

You know, it's funny how songs continue to grow and evolve and become a new and deeper reflection of your life.

My songs pretty much revolve in my brain most of the time - usually, whatever's coming next.

It's interesting how songs can evolve. Sometimes I'll write a song that feels relevant in the moment, but four years later, I don't want to sing it anymore. Then something will happen in my life, and the song becomes relevant again.

It's hard to write new stuff when the songs you have written before are still changing and evolving. It would be like building something when the foundations there are not really solid.

When you write a song, a song has longevity.

My songs emerge from my life, or wherever they do, unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own.

Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable.

I sometimes don't know what songs are about for several years after I've written them.

If certain songs become popular enough to the point where I'll be playing them the rest of my life, I don't want them all to dwell on the same down moment that I'll have to keep reliving.
