Obviously, physically, people are limited by their instrument, and you just want that instrument to be the best that it can be so it can serve that moment. As songwriting goes, that is the pinnacle of songwriting, that moment that it happens. For me, there will never be a moment in the record-making process like when the song is born.

INTERVIEWER: WHEN YOU FIRST MET EACH OTHER, WHAT WAS YOUR OPINION OF EACH OTHER? [x]

We are in this life where we are given some gifts, that just can’t be taken away. Sometimes you have temporary gifts, they get taken away. You know, you meet somebody, they’re a good person in your life, it’s like ‘wow what a gift’. Five years later you don’t even know ‘em. But then there are gifts that you get that are yours for life: Who you are; The fact that you play music; That you’ll always play music; Your daughter. That are things that is yours for life. [x]
