I’ve been thinking a lot about getting older and relevancy and how all my heroes have all ended up alone. I wrote a song on the plane ride from Sydney to Perth on the appalachian dulcimer I bought the day of my flight. I bought it because Joni played on most of her Blue record. I taught myself to play ‘A Case of You’. Anyway, I wrote a song and it is called ‘Nothing New’ and it’s about being scared of aging and things changing and losing what you have. It says ‘I’m getting older and less sure of what you like about me anyway’. And in the chorus it says ‘How can a person know everything at 18, and nothing at 22? And will you still want me… when I’m nothin new.’ It’s a really vulnerable song but I think it’s impossib important to say.
