I wrote songs all my life, where anyone wanted to hear them or not. ↗

Every one of the songs was based around picking an acoustic guitar. That was part of the concept from the beginning, that the tempos were going to go from slow to almost mid-tempo. ↗

I don't know too many people because I stay at my house, I write songs, I go to the store. ↗

I had 25 or 30 songs. Sequencing the record, I left that to the producer. I'm not into doing that stuff. ↗

I just sat down and thought, I'm going to write a song today, I'm going to give it a try. So I just stuck it on a tape like everything else. That was just another song. ↗

And frankly, when I made that record, hit songs were not what I was trying to achieve. ↗

So, once I've written a song, you know, I'm pretty happy with what the song is on its own terms. ↗

In the past, some of the songs that were the most fun, and the most entertaining and rocking, fell by the wayside because I was concerned with what I was going to say and how I was going to say it. ↗

We look before and after, And pine for what is not; Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught; Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought. ↗
