I made a decision when I started writing 'All is Song' to take the compliments I had for 'The Wilderness' and try to be confident and not overwhelmed by it.

I hear music as narrative.

I've always thought abstractly - through theme and variations rather than narrative.

I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.

Everything starts and ends with the song, and working with writers and really learning their process and craft was an invaluable experience.

Songwriting is an art unto itself, not to be confused with performing.

Writing songs for other people was never the goal for me.
