There’s so little that I want to do in this life, other than what I do.
If I didn’t have singing and songwriting, I’d probably never leave my town. I’m creatively restless but I’m content in every other regard.
I would still have had a little following, still had faith … and hope, and love (and my share of scars). I would still have trusted my unknown future to God.
I would have surfed more, maybe.
I would have lived quietly … much like me, with less deep contentment.
Maybe it’s possible to live without making up songs. But to die without it … how painful I would find it.
It’s like making prints and writing poetry…it gives me both happiness and a sense of accomplishment . I’m not just taking up space. I’m essentially beautifying the space around me.Writing music to me is the same thing. It adds to the world around us.

Have you seen the movie Paterson with Adam Driver? … your words remind me of his simple joys in life. When we find our song, we are home.
