“I write these songs and I like the idea of letting the band interpret ...” — Taylor Goldsmith Quote

“I write these songs and I like the idea of letting the band interpret it as they will. This band is like any band; it's not just me. This isn't just a way for me to play my songs. There are four distinct artistic voices, and they deserve to be expressed.”

“But when you're six records deep, every record has one or two songs that need to be in every set, so you're already looking at 12 songs that you know you're going to play.”

“I've always been a little more narrative, a little more linear, a little more direct. People instantly want to classify that as something retro. It's just a way of writing songs.”

“I don't feel deprived in not completing my artistic endeavors.”

“The lawyer has not reached the height of his vocation who does not find therein... scope for a peculiar but genuine artistic function.”

“Music is very nebulous, and you can conjure up a lot of moods with music. But lyrics - they're a lot more tangible. They're much more specific. And you want to say something meaningful and creative and artistic and that tells a story and that takes people someplace else.”
