If you give yourself too much time, you kind of over-obsess about the music. It's not supposed to be like that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It takes a lot of selfish time to make music.
I like it when songs develop in some way. Four minutes usually isn't enough time for something to develop musically.
Music is such a problem in the time it takes.
Music deals with time and timing. It's so magical, but when you get into it, every little sound and every little space between the sounds, it's critical, so critical. And if it's not there, it not only feels wrong, but it ruins things.
I have a hard time narrowing things down to ten or 12 songs. If I walk off stage in anything less than two hours, it just feels strange. It feels early.
I'm not used to not having enough time to live with the songs. Usually, if I write something, I live with it for a little while.
I've found that music allows years to fold like an accordion over each other, so I guess you don't feel the passage of time as much.
Songs seem to take me a long time. I don't know why; they're not especially excellent for taking so long.
When you do a show five days a week and one night a week, the way I was doing, you use up so much music every day that pretty soon you find yourself hustling for material.
This genre of music seems to want to push people into a certain time slot, which is unfortunate.
