Sometimes the world seems like a big hole. You spend all your life shouting down it and all you hear are echoes of some idiot yelling nonsense down a hole.

If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain...

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where noone notices the contrast of white on white.

Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.

I can't remember all the times I've tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass
Adam Duritz

I think I'd been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.

That's where the songs come from: that's what I'd most want people to understand. What sounds good or looks good, that's nothing. The only worthwhile thing in art is seeing someone else's heart.

It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.

I can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less that we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal. If you don't find a way to break the chain and change in some way, then you wind up, as the rhyme goes: a murder of one, for sorrow.

You aren't really writing about what you did you're writing about how you feel.

I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.
Adam Duritz
Image
But what you realise after you've been in the business for a while is that people develop opinions about you that don't have anything to do with your music, they like or dislike you for a million reasons, they like or dislike you for your last record.

Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.

Image
Closeness to another person is like a fear of falling off a building to me. It's really, like, physically painful, and it's a brand of crazy I don't appreciate having.
Adam Duritz
Image
We waste a lot of our lives sometimes. There are people sitting across from us who would make the whole world better if we spent more time with them in it, but we can't get across that gully.

I've been playing music most of my life.

It's impossible having five, six, seven people in a room being creative together and not fight, because you want to fight. It's the only way creativity works, if you all put your ideas in.
