A song that sounds simple is just not that easy to write. One of the objectives of this record was to try and write melodies that continue to resonate. ↗
Probably having fallen in love with music and movies at a young age and then first learning about writing by kind of following the path of writers like Dave Marsh and Lester Bangs and being a rock journalist. ↗
But usually I'll wake up and start writing about nine o'clock. I'll probably write for about three hours, and I'll do that over the next month and a half. ↗
In real life, people are constantly saying one thing and doing another, but if you write your characters that way, the story becomes too hard to follow. ↗
The people at the record company had asked me if I could write a song about my life, my relationship with God, and where I'm from. Well, I can't write a song on purpose, my songs come in a moment of inspiration or desperation. ↗
In my next life, I want to be tall and thin, parallel park and make good coffee. But for now, I have lots of stuff to work out in my life, but I'll have that until the day I die. I want to write more books. ↗
