Ed: It’s funny - I’m at a stage in life where I feel like there are no ‘should’s. [...] I want to be guided by my intuition and instinct. I spent a lot of time in my life doing what I should do, so when I talk about getting back into music, it's because I want to. I want to practice, I want to see where my voice can go. I’ve never done this before, not picked up a guitar in three months, and I’m excited to see what happens.
Monster Children: Are you intimidated by that?
Ed: No, I want to get the calluses back on my fingers. I read an interview with Neil Young where he said he didn’t pick up a guitar or write anything for nine months because he was doing other things, and I thought that that was so cool. I’m a big believer in following what feels right, and trusting that.
