Peter Eldridge: I love being able to interpret other people's songs. There's something really freeing about that. As much as you want to be so respectful of the other person's tune, the pressures off in a way. Here's this little beautiful piece that's already out there in the universe, and you just get to make your own statement with it - if it's a song that really hits you hard.

When you're writing your own stuff, there's quite a bit more pressure. You’re making something new, and, hopefully, saying something original. Creating a whole new entity in the world. I think there's a lot more weight surrounding that than doing someone else's songs.

Ultimately, I think of myself more as a songwriter. That's first and foremost. And that's the expression that feels most comfortable for me. And that's why the mix of original versus non-original tunes is what it is, when it comes to my music.
