“ I gladly sacrifice pear-shaped tones in favor of down-to-earth emotion. ”
If there is one sin—or rather one waste—it is not doing what you have the inclination or gift for.
~ Oliver
I like working alone. I feel freer, less constrained. I know what I have to do and I try to do it. There are no superficial hangups.
When I write I like to give equal justice to lyrics, too. I want the song to have meaning for me so I can make it have meaning for the audience.
I try to make the music give people a chance to become engrossed with what they hear enough to possibly experience things they've probably experienced on their own but don't normally let themselves go so as to feel them fully.
