If You Can't Help Me

The Best Gift I Was Ever Given Was The Arts. My Mum Gave Me Those On A Silver Platter. Growing Up, Her And My Grandmother Would Take Me To Ballets, Classical Concerts, Even Smoky Jazz Clubs I Wasn't Supposed To Be In!

I Did An Internship At The Ardent Theatre Company In Philly After Dropping Out Of College. I Was Earning $165 A Week Building Sets And Cleaning The Toilets. Cleaning Toilets Is A Good Way Of Getting In Touch With Your Creativity. That's When You Find Out If You Got Anything Going On In Your Head.

When You Have A Cast And Crew Of People Who Make It Light Hearted And Crack Jokes, And Break Treats, And Understand That We Are All In This Together. That's A Biggest Plus That You Can Have.

I've Done A Lot Of Fighting In My Time, And I'm Down To Do Some More. I Don't Want To, But You Know, There's Just Certain Things That You Can't Sit Down And Take.

Most Of The Time, Particularly With This Record, 'the Light Of The Sun,' I Really Just Been Standing In Front Of A Microphone And Blacking Out Musically, You Know. I'd Come Back A Couple Hours Later And There's Six Songs From Beginning To End, You Know? I Don't Know What I'm Going To Say. I Don't Know How I'm Going To Say It.
