The last couple of years I lived in New Mexico, I got back into the things that I feel like I missed out on studying, just to re-educate myself on some of the power of that kind of music ... I can play a lot of notes on the guitar, but ultimately, it’s got to be about feeling. I’m really into songs and the journey of feeling that a song takes you on. When I was in high school, I was the exact opposite. I was, like, ‘Songs? F --- that, let’s jam,’ but as you get older, what really moves you is really a great Peter Gabriel song or Bob Marley song. I’m really a student of that.
