Songwriting is different from music, although I don't deny now that it would be nice to have a little more background in music theory.

I've looked at photographs of myself during concerts and it sometimes looks as if I'm in a fencing move, with a guitar in my hands instead of a sword.

Song Sung Blue took a lot of compressing and refining, and it has one of my favorite lyrics.

I'm throwing myself back in because I like being married. I don't want to end this whole fabulous journey alone. I want someone by my side who I love and who loves me. I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife, because I'm very high maintenance.

I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.
- Dog
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It was a real hand-to-mouth existence in those early days - I'd have whatever dry cereal there was in the house for breakfast, 30 cents to spend on lunch and a hot dog for dinner. I did that for years. So there was definitely a hunger in me, of various kinds, to succeed.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't want to repeat my mistakes so I stopped, took some time out and started having therapy. My songs were bringing up feelings inside of me I didn't really understand, so I wanted to understand where they were coming from to help me be a better person and a better songwriter.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The cardinal rule for any performer is that they should know themselves before they enter the spotlight, and I didn't. I was just Neil and I did what I was supposed to do. I was supposed to get married, so I got married. I was supposed to get a job, so I looked for work.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs; they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I definitely don't feel like I'm 71. I feel like I did when I was - between 30 and 40. The body ages. The mind doesn't.
- Go

I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.
- Home

- Nov 07, 2020
I like having a woman. I like having someone to come home to, to make all of the hard work feel worth it. I need someone with me. And I want someone.
- Nov 07, 2020
You can't plan to write a great song. It just happens to you. It drops in your lap. It's the same thing with a woman.
- Different Attitude
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more, just hoping for an occasional inspiration.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If it can affect me, if it has meaning to me, if I feel I can do it well, I will do it and record it and thats why I recorded these songs.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because my musical training has been limited, I've never been restricted by what technical musicians might call a song.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The main objective in any song, the songs that I write, has always been that it reflect the way I feel, that it touch me when I'm finished with it, that it moves me, that it can take me along with it and involve me in what its saying.
- Great

Chelsea Morning is a great Joni Mitchell song and I guess I'm partial to her lyrics because they show me a slightly different perspective on life.
- Experience

- Nov 07, 2020
Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't like all of the music to be serious and deadly.
- Mystery
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's a mystery to writing, and you don't really know where most of it comes from.
