I met my co-producer, Steve Lunt, at a funeral and he asked to hear what I was working on. I sent him three songs and he spent the next six months convincing me not to change them. Most of this album wasn\u2019t built from perfection but rather intent.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17752\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17752\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17752\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-2-Photo-credit-GMD-Three.jpg\" alt=\"Photo credit: GMD Three\" width=\"660\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-2-Photo-credit-GMD-Three.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-2-Photo-credit-GMD-Three-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17752\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: GMD Three<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Tell us how the idea of the new song \u201cSunshine\u201d came to you.<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cSunshine\u201d was probably one of the first songs I wrote for <em>Birds<\/em>. A few years ago my life was in a real transition point. I moved all of my belongings to a storage unit in my hometown of Shelburne Falls, MA. I drifted and stayed with friends for about a year, but I would frequently visit my storage unit to practice piano during the day. \u201cSunshine\u201d was a song I wrote there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does where you are, geographically, inform the song?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe clich\u00e9 is that bands from Los Angeles or Nashville sound a certain way. I think geography and the sound that geography is tied to\u2014certainly affects it. That is why I live in western Massachusetts. My greatest musical influence is silence\u2014it\u2019s where I find my way creatively. It is fun to be in New York and write, but it\u2019s a totally different soundscape\u2014especially when you\u2019re not writing. Location has a lot to do with changing how you relate to the world. It\u2019s almost like picking up someone else\u2019s guitar\u2014it\u2019s tuned the same, it\u2019s the same chords, but you have to fight a little harder to make that bar F chord work. (<em>Laughs<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do the times we now live in affect your songs?<\/strong><br \/>\nSometimes I wonder if the times are really getting worse, or if we just know more these days. You can\u2019t really say anything without offending someone else. The tools I use as a writer harken back to the Woody Guthrie influence. I don\u2019t want to write a song that\u2019s preaching. I don\u2019t want to get caught in that. I feel my job as a songwriter is to push the ship forward. Sometimes, they are rally cries. I use my anger to help me write. I\u2019m appalled with the things I hear in the news, and where we are in this world. My anger is action oriented. I don\u2019t want to sit still when I\u2019m angry. It gets me off my couch. It gets me to pick up my guitar\u2014it\u2019s purposeful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Especially now, why is it important to write songs with social significance?<\/strong><br \/>\nI address a couple of different things on this record with \u201cJustice for All\u201d\u2014trying to tackle the death penalty and point out the duality in the word justice and what it means. I was not trying to make a political statement. I wrote that song the same week Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were shot and killed, and then a few days later the five police officers in Dallas were shot and killed. That song wasn\u2019t about a political statement. As many of my songs, it came out of this state of crisis. It\u2019s no different than when I\u2019m writing a song about a breakup. It comes from the same place that love songs do. In this case, it\u2019s a state of sadness.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17751\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-3.jpg\" alt=\"Seth Glier-3\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-3.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What prompted you to record the Stephen Stills\u2019 song \u201cFor What It\u2019s Worth\u201d (aka \u201cStop, Hey What\u2019s That Sound\u201d)?<\/strong><br \/>\nI first performed this song in Oklahoma at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival\u2014which happened to take place the same week that Philando Castile, Alton Sterling and five Dallas police officers were murdered. I was angry at the way things were unfolding in my country, and that resonated with my audience. I decided to record \u201cFor What It\u2019s Worth\u201d because I believe we continue to find ourselves in a similar time of cognitive dissonance, and the lyrics ring as true as ever. Musically, I wanted to deconstruct the song to its most minimal sense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us a little about \u201cWater on Fire.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nI spent over a year writing this and researching the topic. The birth of this idea came when a friend in Oklahoma was explaining to me how he and his family have been dealing with three or four earthquakes daily in their home. It all started about six years ago when his state passed a law allowing hydraulic fracturing to take place. We often think what\u2019s good for business is good for the country\u2014over the people, communities and environment effect. I think there is a false equivalence between freedom and capitalism, and in many communities around this country we\u2019re reaching a tipping point. \u201cWater on Fire\u201d was my attempt to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who inspired you to write songs?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy brother Jamie was definitely my greatest songwriting inspiration. He was born with autism and was non-verbal. I was his care provider\u2014his PCA worker (personal care attendant) for much of my teens. I later became his legal guardian at 25. Learning how to communicate with him without words transformed how I use words in my songs. In a way, he taught me what not saying says. It instilled a new way of listening to someone by reading body language and gestures. It is very helpful when I\u2019m writing a song and want to show how someone feels\u2014as opposed to telling how someone feels. My brother passed away at the age of 30\u2014right around the time I began to write songs for <em>Birds<\/em>. Throughout the album\u2014I\u2019m talking a lot with him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17750\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17750\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17750\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-4-Photo-credit-Tom-Moore.jpg\" alt=\"Photo credit Tom Moore\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-4-Photo-credit-Tom-Moore.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-4-Photo-credit-Tom-Moore-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17750\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit Tom Moore<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What did he teach you?<\/strong><br \/>\nLosing him taught me a lot about life. There\u2019s a tremendous amount of life and magic that\u2019s trapped inside loss. There\u2019s an onset of pain, but he gave me a much greater gift\u2014even in the process of giving him breakfast. I learned a little secret along the way because I had to communicate with him without words, and he communicated with me without words. I had to learn a whole new language. As much as I miss him, every single time I sit down and I\u2019m in that creative writing state\u2014there he is, and there\u2019s that language. I feel profoundly in touch with him\u2014even though he\u2019s not here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What made you <em>want <\/em>to write songs?<\/strong><br \/>\nAt first, it was just therapeutic and a way for me to make sense of a feeling. I usually don\u2019t know what I\u2019m writing about. That\u2019s why I\u2019m writing\u2014to figure it out. I wrote my first song on September 11, 2001. Creativity has always come from a state of crisis. It certainly is still therapeutic, but now I\u2019m curious about where songs and social justice intersect. Songs have the unique ability to get inside and stay alive inside. They\u2019re like mediators between the spiritual and sensual world\u2014that\u2019s a magical thing. We\u2019re going to need songs and all sorts of art in order to get us towards a future where the currency is compassion and resilience\u2014as opposed to greed and authority. As a songwriter, I\u2019m deeply aware that the way in which we tell a story ultimately has the power to change the story. I still have a lot of work left to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your creative process.<\/strong><br \/>\nMost of the songs and melodies for <em>Birds<\/em> came from outside. Each morning while playing piano and writing, I noticed serval birds would come sit by the window sill\u2014listening in. After a while, I began talking to them\u2014asking what they thought of whatever I was working on. I figured\u2014they sing songs all the time, so maybe they can help me with my songs. (<em>Laughs<\/em>) They never replied, at least in a language I could understand, but I think they still had a lot to do with my choices.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17749\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-5.jpg\" alt=\"Seth Glier-5\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-5.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-5-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us one experience where something unique inspired you to write a song.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I\u2019m about to write a song, there is this feeling that comes over me. I remember the feeling more than the process of writing itself. It\u2019s a bit like meditation. I get quiet and withdrawn, but it\u2019s a calmness\u2014more than anything else. Sometimes it\u2019s in direct relation to an article I read or a movie I watched, but more often it\u2019s a little bit of everything in my life that gets wrung out into a song. There is no separation from one experience to another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What songwriting tip would you like to offer?<\/strong><br \/>\nJust start. Try to kill the critic that\u2019s inside your head. He doesn\u2019t belong there. Daydream, lose focus, get lost and don\u2019t explain yourself. Do the opposite of what they teach you in second grade. You\u2019ll be fine. We\u2019re all here to make something beautiful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What instruments<\/strong><strong>\/equipment can you not live without?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy girlfriend inherited this 1925 Steinway piano, and it\u2019s incredible. That\u2019s what I used to write all the songs on this album. And I also used it to record all the songs. It was a grand gift into my life. My first love has always been the Yamaha piano, but lately I\u2019ve been really getting attached to my guitar\u2014a Martin CEO-7. I also use several Strymon pedals (El Capistan, Riverside and blueSky) to process the acoustic guitar and give it more texture for a live show. In the studio process and writing process, I also use this wonderful plugin called Valhalla. It\u2019s a reverb that gives you just about any vibe you\u2019re after\u2014and it\u2019s only $50. I use a PorchBoard as a kick drum. I tour in a Prius, and it\u2019s far more spatially economical. (<em>Laughs<\/em>) I\u2019m using D\u2019Addario Strings, pretty much exclusively\u2014for acoustic and electric. And I use D\u2019Addario capos, tuners and their other accessories.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17748\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-6-Photo-credit-GMD-Three.jpg\" alt=\"A001_C023_0101DS\" width=\"660\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-6-Photo-credit-GMD-Three.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Seth-Glier-6-Photo-credit-GMD-Three-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What PRO are you with?<\/strong><br \/>\nI am with ASCAP.

I turned on the TV and heard the song on a TV show. It\u2019s also great for the ego. (<em>Laughs<\/em>) I was actually at my lawyer\u2019s house, and some crummy reality show on Bravo was using the song \u201cBeauty in the Breakdown.\u201d I remember hearing it and thinking, \u201cWow.

(<em>Laughs<\/em>) I was very fortunate to receive a Grammy nomination for an album I recorded, <em>The Next Right Thing<\/em>. It was an engineering nomination. I did much of the tracking in my parents\u2019 basement. I was living with my parents at the time. It was a couple of years after I dropped out of college. It was a wonderful sense of arrival, and very weird and surreal at the same time. But the nomination kept my parents off my back. (<em>Laughs<\/em>) It brought me more attention to do another album.
