I don't really like over-explaining the songs. Everyone constantly asks what the songs are about, and I think the thing is that the songs definitely all have stories in them; it's just nice to let people decide what they are. I think it's important that people hear it themselves rather than having me annotate it.
I was a part of Backyard Soccer, and I hear that I score a lot of goals in it.

Four things belong to a judge: to hear courteously, to answer wisely, to consider soberly, and to decide impartially.
There are a lot of doors that still get shut, and there are a lot of walls to still breach. But, the stuff that does come across to me, or that I hear about or read about, that I'm willing to go out there and fight for, I still have to go audition.
