One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it's being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there's a good song. ↗
I like making songs up. Whether or not they're great songs or good songs, whatever. It's something I've always done, and I definitely feel like I've gotten better at it. ↗
Words are important to me, but a song can work and function and be a good song with words that are fairly standard. But really great lyrics can't rescue a dog of a song. ↗
I work hard at that, but the fact that there are a lot of good songs means there are also a lot of really bad songs I've written that you never hear. ↗
It's hard enough to make a good song and a good recording of that song. But to try to tailor it to some outside force is just like - It's never been a factor in what I've done or what the band's done. ↗
I think I always had a musicality, and I think I could tell a good song from a bad song. And I would appreciate hearing something that was new to me. ↗
