You obviously don't really forget how to play the old songs; you just don't have to spend so much time convincing yourself that you remember them. Way less mental energy is spent swimming around in lyrics you've already written and chords you've already played.

I guess I'm a real fan of older music, and that's what shaped my taste and the way I sing.

There's always a group of songs that I'm working at. Some of them are 10 years old, and some of them are just a few weeks old. I'm always trying to adjust these songs to some position where I can bring them to completion.

I don't over-sing anymore, which I used to suffer from terribly because I couldn't hear myself.

I'm now comfortable playing a lot of the old songs, and I've gotten out a lot of the old equipment.

Sometimes I think the choir gets a little ticked with me because I haven't sung in a long time and I can sing.

I've been writing songs since I was, like, five and I've been singing since, like, I can't remember.

I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine.
