I Am A Horrible Visual

I've Honestly Always Been An Overly Analytical, Highly Observant Person. I Was Playing Music But Thinking About It At Same Time, Which Was Sort Of Exhausting. Aside From The Pain Of Writing - You're Not Really In A Gang Like You Are In Band, It's A Little Bit Lonelier - I Think It Was Always Something That I'd Wanted To Do. So The Transition Wasn't Abrupt Or Painful.

I Love Coffee. I Love A Midday Espresso On Set, Just For The Energy.

It Was Writing About Music For Npr - Connecting With Music Fans And Experiencing A Sense Of Community - That Made Me Want To Write Songs Again. I Began To Feel I Was In My Head Too Much About Music, Too Analytical.

I've Realized That I Have A Lot Of Different Loves, And I Want To Pursue Writing, But I Can Never Divorce Myself From Music.

Wholeness Is Sort Of A Dubious Concept. Because In Terms Of The Human Body And Literal Wholeness And Structures, You Think: "here Are The Structures That Help Make Me Whole." Family, Or School, Or The City I Live In. When Those Structures Are Dysfunctional Or Decaying, You End Up Kind Of Frankensteining Pieces From Everywhere In Order To Make Yourself Sated And Comfortable And Alive.
