I Think There's A Certain Numbness In

I've Never Been Interested In Being Relevant.

When I Start To Write A Song, I Initially Fall Into Patterns And Creative Habits That Are Familiar, And Because They're Familiar, They Sound Convincing. It's Important For Me To Not Pursue Those Ideas, Because I've Already Done Them, But To Find Ideas That Are Different And Feel Strange To Write And Disconcerting To Write.

I Look At You And You Look At Me And Deep In Our Hearts Know It That You Weren't Much Of A Muse, But Then I Weren't Much Of A Poet

Despite What People Might Think, I'm Not Interested In Being Dark All The Time. I'm Actually Searching For Some Kind Of Light, And I'm Always Very Happy When I Can Achieve That.

It Was About The Preciousness Of That, And How They Viewed Those Birds As Art, As Something Valuable. I Didn't Care One Way Or Another Back Then, But Now, Thinking About My Grandparents - Who Are Still Alive But Getting Older - I See The Birds As Sort Of Time Capsules. Now I Go Home During The Holidays And They Hold A Lot Of Weight In Terms Of Nostalgia And Memory. Now They Mean Everything.
