Tags: Christian, Honest, LifeMaybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.
Tags: Time, Why, WritingFor a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that's all my music is, trying to help people.
Tags: Help, Music, TimeI don't know what other people are like, I haven't been able to crawl inside anybody else.
Tags: Able, Anybody, ElseI honestly don't listen to a lot of music - I spend so much time working at my own music.
Tags: Music, Time, WorkingI never set out to write songs about the world around me... it just kind of came about as a result of paying more attention to things.
Tags: Attention, Result, WriteI was mainly influenced by the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and others like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash.
Tags: Family, Influenced, OthersI've always been aware of having feelings that were pretty intense at times. I imagine most people have had that, or they wouldn't be human.
Tags: Feelings, Human, PrettyIf something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.
Tags: Music, Time, WorkMost of the music you hear on the radio today is developed for making money. It doesn't feel true or honest. You can feel it in the music.
Tags: Money, Music, TodayMy guitar is really tempermental. I don't give up on it though, I'm close to my guitar!
Tags: Give, Guitar, ThoughSome guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin, but he's standing up for what he believes in and that seems pretty damned American to me.
Tags: American, Fight, PrettyThis is how it has been since time began: If you want to make something really worthwhile and true, then you have to suffer for it.
Tags: Since, Time, TrueTurn off the TV and start digging around for information that's not from a corporation trying to make money.
Tags: Money, Start, TryingWriting, overall, has never been what I'd call fun. It's fulfilling. It doesn't come real easy for me.
