Kevin Devine Appreciation

I’m content being a weird guy who plays sort of folky music at hard-core shows or punk rock shows or indie rock shows, because the spirit is closer to what feels right to me.

Kevin Devine Covers The Beatles

unsignedunleashed:

Kevin Devine posted a video on his Facebook today of him covering “I’m Only Sleeping,” originally by The Beatles. You can check it out by clicking here.

I might never sell 100,000 records or be on the cover of Rolling Stone and that’s fine. If I’m true to myself I’ll always have this core group of people who give a shit about it. These new people coming in, that’s great. If they stick around, that’s great, and if they stick around for one record and leave then alright, we’ll see. It’s like preaching to the choir to always get up and play in front of the same kids who you know like that music. I know what to expect if I get up in front of a group kids who listen to (insert indie rock band here). I don’t know what to expect if I get up and sing a song about the failure of two party politics to a crowd who listens to all pop music. Surprisingly cool shit happens. People’s eyes open up and I think that’s more the challenge and that’s more what I am into.

“A song like ‘Luxembourg’ is absolutely a song about me trying to make sense of some relationships I’ve had in my life and feelings I have about the concept of relationships in general and realizing some character defects of your own. There’s a third verse of that song about someone I was close to who is still a part of my life, but who’s now married and has children. It’s beautiful. It’s beautiful that that’s the way that is and that I get to have this relationship and be friends with this person. There’s also like a little bit of, you know, you might be through with the past, but the past isn’t through with you. Those are complicated feelings. That is what I think it’s really like to be a person. I know that’s what it’s like to be me.”
