It's probably foolish to expect relationships to go on forever and to say that because something only lasts 10 years, it's a failure.

Image
I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.

I don't play the kind of music that works in a football stadium.

I think people are isolated because of the nature of human consciousness, and they like it when they feel the connection between themselves and someone else.

I've written a number of songs over the years and it's a big part of my life, this sort of tension between a longing for home and the call for the open road. It's sort of like a tug between two families. I even love to miss my home.

I'm always making music. I'm constantly making little musical recordings on my phone or on a little voice recorder I carry with me so I can remember these little pieces of music that eventually becomes songs.
