Any idiot who knows five chords can bang a song together. But it's probably going to be rubbish. ↗

There is no formula to it. Writing every song is a little journey. The first note has to lift you. ↗

I know every note in every song, the whole history of it, even parts that were there and are gone. ↗

Just like any songwriter, I love it when people sing my songs. ↗

Some of the press who speak loudly about the freedom of the press are themselves the enemies of freedom. Countless people dare not say a thing because they know it will be picked up and made a song of by the press. That limits freedom. ↗

I had to go into a studio and compose and write and press up 12 songs in 14 hours. When you're recording a song from scratch it takes you 14 hours to do just one song. ↗

But I'm able to just keep going, and that's the challenge. It's the next song. And then just enjoying the shows and people who come out to the shows. It's pretty organic, really. ↗

I mean a song that's specifically for the girls. It's saying you know we talk about them night and day, we're constantly pondering on men and what they've done good and what they've done bad and all these things in our lives. ↗

If a song's about something I've experienced or that could've happened to me it's good. But if it's alien to me, I couldn't lend anything to it. Because that's what soul is all about. ↗
