I Felt A Disconnect My Eyes Squinted As I Looked Up. As I Thought About The Question I Realized That We Always Force A Separation Between The Artist Me And Audience People . But I Am Not Separate. I Am People I Just Happen To Be An Artist. Once I Understood This The Album Felt Very Easy And Fun To Make. Gemini Rights Is Me Getting Closer To What Makes Me A Part Of All Things And That Is Feelings. Feelings Seem Like The Only Real Things Sometimes.“ “I Write About My Anger Sadness Longing Confusion Happiness Horniness Anger Happiness Confusion Fear Etc. All Out Of Love And All Laughable Too. The Biggest Lesson I Learned At The End Of This Album Process Was How Small We Make Love. I Want To Love Unconditionally Now. I Will Make Love Bigger Not Smaller.
