It's Not Music You Would

I Still Feel Like If I Can Get A Song To Work With, Say, A Basic Beat, A Rhythm, Some Chord Changes, And A Melody, A Vocal Melody - If It Works With That, Then I Feel It's Written And There's Something There. So I Intentionally Don't Get Involved With Arranging Stuff Or Fussing Over The Sounds And The Edits And The Beats Too Much, At Least Not In The Beginning, Because I Feel Like Then You Can Fool Yourself That You've Got Something There, When You Might Not.

Yeah, I Like To Keep Myself Interested - I'll Kind Of Throw Myself Into Some Area That I Don't Completely Know Or Understand, That I'm Not Adept At, So I'm Forced To Swim In Order To Stay Afloat. There's A Good Feeling That Comes From That.

I Sense The World Might Be More Dreamlike, Metaphorical, And Poetic Than We Currently Believe--but Just As Irrational As Sympathetic Magic When Looked At In A Typically Scientific Way. I Wouldn't Be Surprised If Poetry--poetry In The Broadest Sense, In The Sense Of A World Filled With Metaphor, Rhyme, And Recurring Patterns, Shapes, And Designs--is How The World Works. The World Isn't Logical, It's A Song.

I Couldn't Take Pictures Of Green Rolling Hills.

We've Gone Through The Urban Renewal Cycle In The '60s And '70s That Really Did A Lot Of Damage To The Fabric Of Urban Life - Neighborhoods Bulldozed And Highways Pushed Through, And All That Kind Of Stuff That Really Destroyed The Kind Of Social Underpinning And The Kind Of Mom And Pop Stores And All The Stuff That Makes A Community Viable.
