“The kid pretty much saps all my writing time. That’s really different for me. I’m pouring all my time and creativity into hanging out with a baby, I don’t have any left for making songs. It’s sort of cool, in my more patient moments, to have to save it up. There’s been rare occasions when my daughter and I are apart. I treat that like a songwriting boot camp….It’s a much more chilled out way to create than I’ve known in the past.”
