What should people expect when they buy the album?
There are only 11 songs. I think the thing that stands out most about the album is that all the songs kinda go for their own vibe instead of , I mean people say you make albums and make all the songs stick together and sound the same. It does, but the thing that sets it apart is that it has a lot of variety and every song has its own personality.
Based on your personality, if you were an ice cream flavour, what would you be?
I'd be frosted mini wheat flavoured ice cream.
In your opinion, what is the best piece of music ever written?
I'd say “U Say Me” by Lionel Richie.
If you could walk into any painting and actually experience the moment it depicts, which painting would you choose?
“The Kramer.”
Could you talk about the following tracks?
-Perfect Time of Day:
It kind of sounds like it's gonna be a morbid song but its not really. It’s a seize the moment song. “U got to seize the moment” because you never know when you might run out of time here. It’s a little depressing, but mostly it was supposed to be up lifting kind of a “seize the moment”.
-You and A Promise:
It's sort of a song I wrote about getting screwed over again and again, and my theory that nothing works. It starts out about a story of a girl who has her boyfriend walks out on her or whatever. He sort of goes out into the world and then everybody sort of shuts the door on him and so he finds out what goes around comes around and uh, the same time nothing works.
What do you think is the most soothing sound?
I little baby chicks [ baby chick sound effects]. I think that’s very soothing but we have to have at least 10 of them in an incubator.
If you were completely blind but could somehow see for one hour each week, how would you spend that time?
I dunno that would take some thought. Lets see it would be when I was awake, one a week ? or a day? I dunno it would have to be a pretty big deal, maybe I'd hang out with some friends and we would all sit around in a circle and watch an hour long movie or something. Maybe I'd have my friends edit movies down to an hour so I can watch them every week.
If you could recover one thing you've lost in your lifetime, what would you wish to find?
I had a guitar. I had it for about 5 years. I sorta learned how to play acoustic guitar on it and one time it fell out of the back of the trailer and It got run over by a bunch of tracker trailers. I miss it.
When you approach an album or idea, does one song set the tone?
An idea for a song? Umm not really. One tone sets the tone for that song, and I try, if anything , to make the next song not sound like that one. Maybe in a weird way yes, but only because your trying to make it a bit different.
What track was most challenging to write and why?
I think probably "You and a promise" was difficult because it has a pretty gritted rhyme scheme and that sort of thing. I didn’t want it to come off as cheesy, but I wanted it to tell a story at the same time and not sound forced. That was one of the more difficult ones.
If you had to be represented by an object in your home, what would you choose?
An object in my home? I'd be my fish.
Do you ever think about history and that possibly in 20 years people may look back on your words and see how you painted a picture of a different time in rural life?
That would be cool. No I don’t really think about that, but that would be cool.
Do you have anything you'd like to say to the readers of popYOUlarity.com?
Hi! Just wanna say hi--- just sayin' hi!
