"I am always trying to write." — Joanna Newsom

In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.

Well, yeah, I wanted to resist the urge to thicken everything up with instrumentation, because I just felt like I was interested in seeing how the songs did on their own.

I am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music.

I did spend a year in high school being obsessed with Fleetwood Mac.

I have writing songs on my own for about six years.

I would happy for someone to download my music.

I give away CDs at shows if someone wants a CD but doesn't have any money. I wouldn't want to do that forever.

Lyrics are very different. There is a clear line between that and a poem. Something that has been a source of great excitement and delight for me is this idea that I get to rhyme.
