I have always at least, ever since I can remember had a kind of longing for death.
I romanced internally about early death till it was too late to die early.
But spending your life concentrating on death is like watching a whole movie and thinking only about the credits that are going to roll at the end. It’s a mistake of emphasis.
I was fascinated by mortality. Most people are, even if they don't admit it.
I do have a romantic interest in outlasting everybody else. There's a sort of sad machismo to singer-songwriters, I think.
I have an obsession with mortality. I saw a friend die when I was 18, and I can't get over it.
Probably I chose immortality because mortality is a universal human obsession.
I have had a fascination with death, I think, that might be considered genetic for a long time. My father had the same affliction, I guess.
