What we understand to be profoundness, or importance, it changes. It should change. It should be this moment where you cannot believe that equalled grandness or importance.

I want to talk about things that are tangible and real to me, but I also want to do them in a way that's poetic and artistic.

I didn't really learn how to play guitar until I was in college.
James Vincent McMorrow
Image
I like what I like, I don't like what I don't like, and I'm very bad at toning myself down.
James Vincent McMorrow
Image
I'm an introspective human being and someone who likes to be alone in a room. The idea of going out and talking to people...there's something appealing about it, but also there's something that feels alien to me, as a cynical Irish man.
