Ficus dream's are the dream's for me, it cost me nothing it was free. |
I am a prince I have it all, and I hear your foot steps on the wall, I wait in silence for your call, and take a shot and watch you fall. |
I love the way this album came out, |
I love the way this album came out, ... It was great to (work) with Brendan, who, nine songs into the record, looked at me and said, 'We're not putting this out until all 12 songs are great. You're not done.' |
I'm really excited to get back on the road and start playing the new songs live, ... The road is where the songs grow legs and begin evolving on their own in new and interesting ways. Shine is opening a new door for my music and I can't wait to find out what's on the other side. |

In your heart you feel like you're doing the right thing, because, ultimately, honesty is your gift to these people who are willing to listen to your music, ... Changing is part of that. You've got to change, and that's hard. |

It's a thrill to be on Columbia Records. Columbia has been home to a lot of my favorite artists -- like Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, and Bruce Springsteen -- and it feels great to be working with people who really understand what I'm trying to do and allow me the freedom to go in new musical directions. I'm very proud of the way Shine has turned out and I hope everyone enjoys listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it. |
John Lennon is the model for what I'm trying to do; that he grew and changed, ... It's been hard because you left your friends and I don't see them very much anymore, but look what happened with 1/8 Lennon) and those albums. They were struggling to progress beyond the greatest band that ever existed. |
Love That Breaks All Lines. |
Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul, you've got to run like an antelope out of control! |
The trick is to surrender to the Phlow! |
