When you work on a record for three years, it's a great sense of relief when it is finally out in the world. It just feels good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Record-breaking is not getting boring. I am definitely happy with that.
It's a very hard industry, and it's very cold. It's loving for when you have a hit record, but when you don't have anything going on, there's really not much support.
This record for the first time - feels like a record that really represents my whole entire life and instead of just a period of my life. And it is really kind of eye opening and it makes me feel really good to hear this record and hear all the years.
It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.
Record making is an extraordinary experience.
I still hold on to the idea that a record can really change the way I feel.
When you work on an album for three and a half years, you're kind of ready for it to get out there. To have your songs reach people.
Most of the time I don't force records. I'm not one of these guys that put records out every nine, 10 months. I'm pretty long between records. I've only had a few in my career. I kind of wait until I feel I have really strong songs. I don't know if they're going to change the world or not, but I dig 'em, and if I dig 'em we make a record.
When you make a great record, it's around forever.
It's getting harder and harder to feel inspired to spend six months on a record.
