Quote

I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.

A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.

If it's possible to have an enemy without making it personal or moral, then that's what I'm trying to do.
Cass McCombs
Image
I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.

Image
Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best. To make it about the artist and to dwell upon biographical information can only make it singular, and I am really, really disgusted by that.
Cass McCombs
Image
I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.

I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.

Image
I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.

Image
Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.
Cass McCombs
Image
People take things a little too personal. I write these songs, and they're experiments with thoughts. That's it. I'm not a teacher.
Cass McCombs
Image
I love songs because by nature they are concise they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.
Cass McCombs
Image
People just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.
Cass McCombs
Image
I project love, music and love, and I pray for peace. A good song cuts straight to the heart sometimes it doesn't need to be too many lines - of course, I do love a good story.

It's just a joy to be able to work with a lot of different musicians. When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes.

I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.

Image
I do like the word timeless. That's a great word.
Cass McCombs
Image
I don't know about timeless. I actually think most of what I do is completely modern, but universally modern. Who decides what timeless even means? Are the things that we consider timeless now going to, in fact, be considered timeless in 300 years? Probably not.

I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.

I think I like singing when I'm singing live. It's just in the studio when it's a drag.
Cass McCombs
Image
As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.

It's the stupidest thing of all time, going on tour. It deteriorates the soul, but it's fun.
