Certain songs have a life, and certain songs don't. A song is like a saddle: you ride it for a while, and if it's the right kind of song you can sing it for the rest of your life.

Some people don't have a way of that catharsis and I do, so I'm lucky in that sense that people listen to my songs and enjoy my songs. It's a really important thing for me, it's how I channel everything. I don't really know what I'd do if I didn't write songs.

I wonder what memories of yours will persist as you go on in life.

I continue to evolve as a human, I see things differently everyday so it's sure my songs will continue to change and it's a really good thing. It's nice to listen to my music and remember why I made it.
