First off, I just want to tell you that 151a is easily in my holy trinity of albums( no order, with Sufjan Steven's "Age of Adz" and Joanna Newsom's "Y's") and that Bright Whites is easily my single favorite song ever. Being a person from a classical music background, I love the incredible artistry you bring to your music, but what love especially is your sense of joy.
Everytime I listen to it it feels the first time i'm ever hearing it, and the joy and excitement I feel by hearing it is just so palpable.
It's such a cliche to say this, but the joy that song brings me, during it's few minutes of time, is unmatched by any other song that I'll ever know.
Thank you for your music - it's extraordinary.
Sorry for the long ramble, but now is my actual question!:
When you set out to write songs, does the joy and happiness that pervades so much of it comes organically, or is it something you intentionally seek for your music?
Thanks so much. Can't wait for your Baltimore Show Aug 17.
