 Folk is bare bones music. |
| If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else. |
| I refuse to make uninspired music. |
| I'm really looking forward to, not more of the same, but a continual growth. |
| It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel. |
| As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice. |
| We figured you could download live shows for days, so we decided to go for a cream-of-the-crop approach, but not just take the best vocal or the best performances. |
| Right now I'm listening to a lot of different things but I listen to a lot of classical music. Eventually I would like to compose and perform classical. |
| My head works in music, so there's always music there. |
| We went for the best overall feel on each song. There are no musical overdubs at all. It's a true live record; it's one of the few true live records out there. |
| I love being on the road, I love playing. |
| Sometimes I think to talk too much about music almost cheapens it. |
| If it comes out sounding like Dixieland jazz or classical or punk or rock or even slightly metal, that's because that's where I'm going to find inspiration. |
| I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview. |
| You're definitely a different person at different stages in your life. |
| So it's not so much that I set out to do something different, it's just that the songs themselves require their own individual voice and attention. |
| I really feel there's no limitation on what this band can do in the studio or on the stage. That's an empowering feeling - that we can bring a song to life. |
| But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music. |
| That happens every time I get behind a guitar, regardless of what I'm saying, 'cause music is freedom and being free is the closest I've ever felt to being spiritual. |
| You look like gold. I've been fooled before, but now I know I've made the mistake in the past. But now I, now I know the difference from gold and brass. |
