I tend to gravitate toward ballads and mid-tempo songs.

The farmer's daughter hath soft brown hair (Butter and eggs and a pound of cheese) And I met with a ballad, I can't say where, That wholly consisted of lines like these.

My songs tend to sprint toward some epiphany and then explode.

I gravitate toward the law, I think, certainly more times than not, because it's our best mechanism for legislating human behavior, and morality, and ethics.

Whenever people are faced with any sort of adversity... they tend to gravitate toward things that make them comfortable, and things that they feel are important.

Whether lyrically or musically, it reaches in there and grabs your soul. That's the stuff I gravitate toward.
