I have to really feel a song before I’ll deal with it; and just about every song I do is based either on an experience I’ve had or an experience someone I know had gone through.
“…it was too late now. In fact, as far as the United States was concerned, it had never begun at all and so all it would cost the United States was just money: which, his uncle said, was the cheapest thing you could spend or lose: which was why civilization invented it: to be the one substance man could shop with and have a bargain in whatever he bought.”
William Faulkner | “Knight’s Gambit”
