I found this little quote today in an old interview with Jeff. It's a great tip for singers and songwriters (from
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articl.../ai_15129882):
"Words are really beautiful, but they're limited. Words are very male, very structured. But the voice is the netherworld, the darkness, where there's nothing to hang on to. The voice comes from a part of you that just knows and expresses and is. I need to inhabit every bit of a lyric, or else I can't bring the song to you--or else it's just words."
