With 'All Is Song,' I tried to construct a very traditional narrative that pulls no tricks.

I tried to play rugby but was never very good.

It was one of the moves in my bag of tricks I tried to pull out and give the crowd a little excitement. I wanted to sprinkle a little G-Lew in there.

I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.

I tried to oppose the academic to the marketplace.

With my songs I tried to prove that there is love.
