Then it's fun and easy to record, and you can get down to details, like taking out cymbals so the verse doesn't dwarf the chorus, something like that. My idea is to play with the people who you know want to get it right.Rock and roll is - and should be - a kid's place.It's almost like there's something church-like about it and you gotta go back there, if you're a songwriter that sings your material. Any musician who writes and sings will tell you that's the center of it, that is it. But I really do have a soft spot for the solo shows.And the pressure behind getting the numbers real fast is, to me, dizzying. It's a tough thing to know that when you're making your album, you're going to end up collaborating with, say, Wal-Mart, on your artwork.I found myself saying things like: Feel my pain, I am white, feel my pain. The band broke into this big heavy metal thing and I started as a joke to scream in a heavy metal falsetto. I used to do this big rant at the end of some gigs with Ben Folds Five.My job is to be some sort of music/lyric psychic, to figure out that that's the right song to not fight the lyric.Billy Joel and Joe Jackson were both great, and they both play piano.Like, if I record a vocal and I don't like the way it sounds, I would have them turn it up and take the reverb off it to make it as plain as possible. In many ways, I've chosen to be plain, almost too plain, too self-effacing.The way I see it, there's only one melody for any song.You never know when you put out an album that's unique whether it'll get beat up for it or not.Because I write very simply, but inside the simplicity, there's a lot of subtlety.A lot of 18-year-olds are like old men.I'm really good at writing 'almost hits'.I do have that mindset - that most good art comes from some turmoil, from someone trying to come to some equilibrium, or come up and get a breath.

With the a cappella groups, every voice is like one string on a guitar, one note on the piano, or one cymbal, and you don't have the luxury of falling back on anything.The nature of honesty is that if someone has information or knows something about you that you don't want heard, then they have power over you.The clock never stops, never stops, never waits.

#One day youll grow up song tv

Everyone, when you're a teenager and you're growing up, you do feel like your life is dramatic enough to be on a TV screen, but we know that it's not.I'm aware that I'm very fringe, and it's nice that way.Maybe this is wrong, but I feel like I craft my songs carefully enough that I still find that fifteen years after having written one, it still works for me - I'm not cringing.Now that I have found someone, I'm feeling more alone.But it can't happen if you're not inspired. It's just much easier to do this when people are being nice to you. I'm older than I was, and I'm still washed-up, and I haven't changed my music one iota.The reason I stop playing songs is usually because I get sick of them, and then they find themselves back into the set list at some point.

So, anyone who's gone through that before, then you'll know what the song's about. I just wanted to reflect what it feels like. And, I didn't really want to write this song from any kind of political standpoint, or make a statement. But the song is about when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend had to get an abortion, and it was a very sad thing. I was asked about it a lot, and I didn't really wanna make a big hairy deal out of it, because I just wanted the song to speak for itself.
