“There’s only one proper way a song should go, but you’ve got to be patient enough to let them come together time wise.”

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain, Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding thing. And to see it fall on your simple country dress It’s like heaven to me I must confess.

Sometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.

My head works in music, so there’s always music there.

You can’t just say ‘I love you,’ you have to live ‘I love you.’

I refuse to make uninspired music.

As a songwriter, I don’t rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.

We’re always moving forward in different places physically and psychologically.

I just want to keep doing what I feel.

The world awakens on the run And will soon be earning With hopes of better days to come It’s a morning yearning.

I grew up listening to spiritual music, Blind Willie Johnson and folk.

You’re living life in real time, man, and we’ ve got a good amount of work to do for each other. Hiding is not an option and you’re going to step out and you’re going to make mistakes.

The spirit is what guides my life, and I’m humbly on my knees in thanks for guidance and direction every day. But God is not something to be preached, it’s something to be lived.

To go through this life and see it through – what it really is – and not be insane or addicted, is a minor miracle for anyone.

All that we can’t say is all we need to hear.

We’ve changed our reflections, but inside we’re just a child.

Genetics do play a role in how you consciously or subconsciously manifest your true self.

It’s not enough to be quiet. Quietness is the absence of noise. We need peace, the presence of justice and to be – and so people here can coexist and live together.

And I don’t know where we are going. But wherever it is, I want to go there together.

I love the love our hearts beat together as if they’ve finally found their way home.

We were never right for each other. But damn we were such a good wrong while it lasted.

Let’s hold on to each other let’s recover together.

How will we know its forever? We will spend our days together laughing, and never check the time.

The earth together with its surrounding waters must in fact have such a shape as its shadow reveals, for its eclipses the moon with the arc of a perfect circle.

Yes love is a battlefield, you can either fight each other or alongside each other.
