I've Always Had An Obligation

I Don't Really Do Japanese Interviews. I Don't Think There's Much Call For Me In Japan.

To My Undying Shame, I Do Read Reviews. I Don't Read Them All, But I Like To Get Some Kind Of Idea How Things Are Going.

The Idea Of Songwriting Is A Transformative Thing, And What I Do With Songwriting Is Take Situations That Are Quite Ordinary And Transform Them In Some Way. Apart From Things Like The Murder Ballads, The Songs I Write, At Their Core, Are Quite Ordinary Human Concerns, But The Process Of Writing About Them Transforms Them Into Something Else.

Out Of Sorrow Entire Worlds Have Been Built Out Of Longing Great Wonders Have Been Willed They're Only Little Tears Darling Let Them Spill And Lay Your Head Upon My Shoulder.

I Just Want To Leave This World With A Massive Catalog Of Songs.
