Most songs have meager beginnings. You wake up in the morning, you throw on your suspenders, and you subvocalize and just think. They seem to form like calcium. I can't think of a story right off the bat that was that interesting. I write things on the back of my hand, usually, and sing into a tape recorder. ↗

Everything I know, I write about. My only research is what I did. ↗

When I write, I put one foot in front of the other. It's an act of faith. I just follow my heart. ↗

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family. ↗

So when I write characters and situations and relationships, I try to sort of utilize what I know about the world, limited as it is, and what I hear from my friends and see with my relatives. ↗
