that's hell

I've never found heaven, for example, a particularly interesting place to go. 
In fact, I take the view that God, in his infinite wisdom, 
didn't bother to spring for two joints-heaven and hell. 
They're the same place, 
but heaven is when you get everything you want 
and you meet Mummy and Daddy and your best friends 
and you all have a hug and a kiss and play your harps. 
Hell is the same place-no fire and brimstone-but they just all pass by 
and don't see you. 
There's nothing, no recognition.
 You're waving, "It's me, your father," but you're invisible. 
You're on a cloud, you've got your harp, but you can't play with nobody
 because they don't see you. 
That's hell.

true friends

True friends. 
Hardest thing to find, 
but you never look for them-they find you; 
just grow into each other.

song-writing

To write a song that is remembered and taken to heart is a connection, 
a touching of bases. A thread that runs through all of us. 
A stab to the heart. 
Sometimes I think song-writing is about tightening the heartstrings 
as much as possible without bringing on 
a heart attack.
