How We Can Stay Faithful To The

I Think Some People Would Say That I Do Overwhelm The Words With The Music, And Sometimes Thank Goodness I Do.

Because One Of The Properties Of Music Is To Entertain And To, I Don't Mean This Lightly, Distract Us From The Things That Pull Us Down. Music Should Be Not Only A Source For Political Ideas But Also A Source Of Hope.

It's So Hard For Me To Even Acknowledge America Without Talking About Race. If You Look At Our Society, If You Look At The Prisons, If You Look At The Poverty And Which Side Of The Line The Majority Of People Are, We Have To Acknowledge How We Divide Ourselves Up, That There's Racism Alive In This Country. And It's Not In The Law. It's In Our Minds. And That's What We Have To Actively Battle.

For Me, In Songwriting, I Have A Route I Can Take. Maybe There's Some Forks, I Can Go This Way, This Way. But I Know Those Roads. I Still Have The Experience Behind Me.

If I Find Something I Like, I'll Chase It And See What Comes Out The Other Side. Once A Song Gets Momentum And Gets Away From You, That's A Good Sign.
