Look, Here Are We, On This Starry

When I Look At How Fortunate I've Been, Being A Musician... My Response To Being Overpaid Is That I Should Pay It Back To My Community In Some Way.

I Think I'm Probably A Very Sad Man Wrapped In A Very Joyful Package, And I Think I'm Very Resilient, And I Think I'm Quite Generous, Sometimes To A Fault. And I'm Very Bad With Money, But I Don't See That Too Much Of A Flaw.

I Don't Believe In Trickle-down Economics. I Don't Think That People Who Have The Most Are Inclined To Share It, Generally.

It's So Hard For Me To Even Acknowledge America Without Talking About Race. If You Look At Our Society, If You Look At The Prisons, If You Look At The Poverty And Which Side Of The Line The Majority Of People Are, We Have To Acknowledge How We Divide Ourselves Up, That There's Racism Alive In This Country. And It's Not In The Law. It's In Our Minds. And That's What We Have To Actively Battle.

When I Listen To My Favorite Songwriters, They Have Such Simple Melodies And Chords. I Occasionally Manage To Stop At The Right Time, But All Too Often I Keep On Going Until I Have Way Too Many Notes And Words. But That's Just What I Do.
