The ocean inspires me because there’s the energy of the water moving.

People really respond to the songs when I play them in concert. Every song comes from a different place emotionally or from a different headspace.

People Play Song
I think most artists would agree, it’s one thing to be playing in front of a crowd that’s loving it, it’s another thing to add cameras, but it’s a really cool trade off to be on television.

The people at festivals are much more open to dance and just sing along. They come right up to the stage and they’re very thankful.

A sunny, happy day is beautiful, but when it’s moody, and storm is coming, there’s an energy in the air.

That’s one thing I really appreciate about the yoga culture, that the people are very thankful. They come up to you as much as any fan would, but they express sincere gratitude and I appreciate that.

So I try influence people to live from their heart and make conscious decisions , and I try just inspire people to make positive change. That’s purely the reason I do it. I want to see the world get better, you know?

Conscious Decision Make Positive Want
When you get to say something in a song you’re not directing it necessarily at one person. When it’s in a song it’s easier to get it out. I don’t really worry so much about it when I’m writing a song.

Song Worry Writing
What I strive to do with songwriting is be really honest, authentic and try to be open and share that with people. I choose that over trying to be clever, poetic, or lyrical.

I think for me to do a traditional sitting meditation I would really have to spend a couple weeks working at it. The only way I know how to efficiently, effectively meditate is by walking in nature.

The mountains inspire me because they are just still and they have such a strong, quiet presence that feels very old.

Songs don’t really feel like me unless I somehow shed a little secret or open myself somehow or be vulnerable. When I’m singing these songs, it feels like me, and that comes with the vulnerabilities and the strengths and the moments of triumph or whatever.

Secret Singing Song
I always saw myself as an old man living in the mountains playing a guitar, but I didn’t really turn that into a desire to be a professional musician or a singer or a rock star or anything like that.
