Quote

Stars looking at our planet, watching entropy and pain and maybe startin' to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane. I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance of a world beyond our own and suddenly the infinite and penitent began to look like home.

When I'm happy, when I'm enjoying life, I'm home, I'm surfing, I'm spending time with my wife, my friends and I'm not thinking about the pain. And then the moment I encounter something that feels difficult, I feel like that's when, for me, I turn to writing and thinking and maybe a song comes from that.

That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case.

For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.
