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

I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.

Fifty Matter Thinking
I wanted to be a singer. I wanted to be a musician. I wanted to travel and write songs and be a good songwriter. It came to me slowly after college.

College Song Writing
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.

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.

Couple Meditation Thinking
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.

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
Nothing has happened too fast, nothing has happened too slow. It has been a mellow rise, and I’m thankful for that. I haven’t lost my head, and I haven’t lost my desire to keep growing.

I also love fall, when it starts to rain, or even just before the rain – that is the most inspiring thing.

I can’t really write unless I’m full of inspiration. And even then I can’t write unless I have some alone time.

Alone Inspiration Time Writing
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
Everyone wants to know what kind of music their favorite artist listens to. It feels good to. I don’t try to dwell on that too much though.

I’m a very typical yoga-practicing musician; I do it when I can. I’m not hardcore about it. A lot of my lyrics talk about celebrating life and working through pain. I think that’s what yoga’s about, getting rid of, moving energy and letting it flow through you.
