I Have Found In Black

I Think I've Been Incredibly Raw My Whole Career. A Lot Of People Spend A Lot Of Time Trying To Look Cool And Spend Time Being Guarded And Putting Up Walls. I Just Never Had The Time. It Seems More Honest To Say, 'hey, This Is Who I Am.'

Words May Move, But They're Never Moving Fast Enough.

The Weirdest Thing I've Been Fascinated With Nowadays Is The New Contemporary Country Music, Which To Me Sounds Like Very Strange '70s Pop, And Sometimes Like Rock Music. But Some Of The Themes In There - Maybe It's Because I Know How The Songs Were Written, But It Really Does Sound Like It Was Written By Two Or Three People, With The Idea To Appeal To The Most General Audience.

Most Of My Songs Are Pretty Sketchy. There's Not A Lot Of Bass Sections. I Don't Write Big Bridges. Sometimes I'll Try. But It's Hard For Me To Focus That Way, Because I Always Think It's More Interesting To Just See What Will Happen Next.

For Any Producer I've Ever Worked With, Their Toughest Job Is To Convince Me To Not To Obscure My Vocals. A Lot Of People Don't Like The Sound Of Their Own Voice On, Like, Cassette Tape Or Something. It's Like That For Me, And Other Songwriters I Know. Like, "oh God, That's What I Sound Like?"
