It's a unique thing to stand in front of a crowd and sing your songs.

I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.
I'd love to write a country album with Adele.
