I think it's interesting how he see's his life as happier than his cast of characters, but, is he happy? or does his suroundings allow him to assume that he is happier than the characters he speaks of? I love him because he recognizes sorrow. to me this makes his true make-up to be rather melancholy, intuitive. He is a mystic, and his writing and his understanding of where it comes from shows clearly, that he see's into a vortex, and simply uses, almost a coma sense of vocabulary.
Just when you thought DJurado couldn't be a nicer bloke (guy in British colloquism)....he goes to schools and gives kids this. Awsome. Great to hear the story behind Rachel and Cali. One of my favourties by Damien. Have total respect for him as an artist and as an individual.
In a lot of these videos… I believe that Damien is trying to say that a song is complete even before you start writing it. He uses words and perspectives that are alien to him, therefore, he is merely the vehicle for the song, as opposed to the creator.
I love Damien Jurado. And understand what he is saying. I write songs as well, and sometimes I will write a song and then be like I didnt write this. Its very strange.
In a funny way he reminds me of Will Ferral. If you scroll the page down so it doesn;t show the actual video and just listen....sounds just like Will Farrel.

What the heck?.. What a cool high school, and in Kansas no less..and how cool of him to do this.
These kids are awesome! Conversations like this are just what kids need!
How cool for these HS kids! DJ playing in their class- I wonder if they know how influential he is.
Very cool Damien!
