Sublime

But I personally think that I am where I am because I aspire to make trees instead of tables.

There’s a hopefulness and poignancy to the lyrics here that, to be honest, doesn’t feel like Jeff Tweedy, as if something has been born anew in him. I don’t know, but a line like this is the truth: It’s hard to see reality / when you’ve got no love at all.

on the most basic level there was nothing stopping me from doing what Bob Dylan does.

“Have you ever heard a song and responded to it? OK, you know music!”

It would be weirder if you never made sounds that were at least somewhat pleasing to you.

I want to be a person who encourages more humans to do that—to have some private moments of creativity, whether they share their creations or not.

And once I listened to that version, the one I liked, it sounded like nothing I could have ever imagined without going through the process of it sounding wrong to me.

you feel a little uncomfortable, maybe a tiny bit embarrassed even, you’re on the right track.
