#song

I don't want to hear songs about how sunshiny things are. I don't like songs that feel like radio candy... I like the ones that make you think, laugh or cry - they pull some kind of emotion out of you. ↗

I try to write relevant songs about life and whatever I'm going through and whatever people are going through. ↗

I said, other people can write songs, let's see if I can. So the first 400 or 500 wound up on the floor somewhere. Then I wrote one called Melissa. ↗

There are as many ways to write songs as there are songs. ↗

Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs. ↗

When I play live, it's a conversation that we're all having with the song, and the audience... their response and relationship with the songs is as valid as my relationship with the songs. ↗

The best pop music is the songs that a group of people can dance to, but you can also listen to in your bed and cry. That's something obviously that The Beatles started and... so having that darkness there opens another door. ↗

I can't remember writing any of the songs that I've written. ↗

I'm not used to not having enough time to live with the songs. Usually, if I write something, I live with it for a little while. ↗
