Quotes
- “Because there's just so much in a day now, I keep writing in much more abstract terms, like I don't try to write about what happened anymore. It would be impossible.”
- “By nature of me being the one singing it and writing it there is always an innate bit of autobiography there ... but I think I learned years ago that you don't get songs that have that long stride and that pivot-hinge ability if it's too much diary entry.”
- “Bring all the spaces together And all the silences ever Bring all the spaces together Come close again Be my pause before the end I miss you, oh, like a fading dreamAnd I have a feeling you know what I mean”
- “I know I'm sane I don't give a care for the crown or the shield I will not protect you or happily yield To the one who makes me come undone”
- “Helping the kids out of their coatsBut wait the babies haven't been bornI'm unpacking the bags and setting upAnd planting lilacs and buttercupsBut in the meantime I've got it hardSecond floor living without a yard.”
- “It may be years until the dayMy dreams will match up with my pay.”
