Man, that can fuckin' overcome everything, y'know?

You know, I've been writing since December. Writing songs. And, y'know, it's really gotten to the point where I realize that I like to write songs. I mean, I like working on the songs. Getting the raw material, that first draft -- now, that's the hard part. But working on the songs -- man, that can fuckin' overcome everything, y'know?

This is good, farmboy, hearing you talk about songwriting.

Well, I was asked the other day: "What is your process?" (laughs) I wasn't aware that I had a process. I could tell you all these reasons why I write the songs I write or even how I write them, but I've never really asked myself about my process. I always thought every song had its own process, and I haven't been proved wrong either. But it's all kinda strange because I love hearing about other people's processes, and not just songwriters. I like directors' commentaries and journals and stuff like that.

So do you have a process?

I don't know, I haven't dug that deep yet. And I'm not sure I want to know, but, you know, I don't want to be ignorant either.

But I do know I love working on songs.

Which is a good thing.

Oh, it's an fuckin' amazing thing. I don't know how people live without writing songs.

I'm thinking, I'd like to always have a song I'm working on. I bet that would make me a happier person. So I'm trying.

I bet you'd be happier too, farmboy.

Summer's coming up, so I'll have more time to write.

How much longer do you have until summer break?

Like, about three weeks. And tomorrow's Friday and it's gonna be a three-day weekend.

So next time we talk, you'll be a free man.

For three fuckin' days. But I'll take it.
