“Everything about singing, I learned from busking. Everything I learned about songwriting, I learned from busking. Busking, you learn people, you learn about reading people.

It's almost like you get to know personality types, just by watching people walk past. You get a sense for things.”

“Our works in stone, in paint, in print, are spared, some of them, for a few decades or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war, or wear away into the ultimate and universal ash - the triumphs, the frauds, the treasures and the fakes.

Children Past Fall Teach Feet Honest Honesty Singing Roots Envy
