#song

I write the songs, go in and record them, then I listen to everything and decide how it all fits together. ↗

My approach to recording and all that is pretty organic. It just has to do with all the songs I wrote; go in and record them. ↗

Of course, I'm older now. I'm in a different place in my life than when I wrote the songs for 'Car Wheels' or 'Essence' or whatever. Different things were going on. ↗

Sometimes I might borrow something from a song I started a long time ago and see if I can grab something. ↗

The old jazz singers or old blues singers, you always just saw them kind of sitting down and singing. They weren't worried as much about their voice sounding perfect. They would make the song kind of fit their voice. ↗

The way I look at life, whatever I'm doing at that time in my life is going to be reflected in my songs, for the most part. ↗

We just did a few takes of a song and just picked the best one. It was real organic and genuine. ↗

Legislation won't necessarily start a riot. But the right song can make someone pick up a chair. ↗

Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff. ↗

I don't listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It's all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You'd have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music - I couldn't sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song. ↗
