My music is how I feel, and that's changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.
In my old age, my mind gets more open, and I listen to so many different types of music and I guess that all reflects in my work.
The music I write, I feel, is not the kind of music for a 25-year-old.
I don't feel a day older when it comes to my approach to music or what gets me off than when I was a teenager. I've always been into different kinds of stuff and when I play I like to play loud. I like my arm hairs to move and I like my body to vibrate 'cause I like the feel of it; I'm still a teenager at heart.
I'm still getting thrilled with music even after 40 years of doing it professionally.
As you grow older, your music begins to mature and grow older along with you.
And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.
I feel like I've matured more musically than I have personally. But I totally embrace what becoming older has to offer. I find the wisdom that comes with each passing year is a trip.
Every day I feel different about music, but what never changes is my love for it.
I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.
