I love Neil Young. His songs were the first songs I learned to play, and I recommend anyone who is starting guitar to learn Neil Young songs first.
Most of the famous love affairs of literature or film were quite short. What was Romeo & Juliet? How long were they together? A few days.
I like playing in other projects.
If somebody sings a song that I wrote, I feel like its a nice point of validation for the song, because it shows that the song is able to stand on its own. I like that.
When I started to write a tune, I just wrote the nearest at hand, which was what was happening in my own life.
I love having other people sing my songs.
