#song

You're always frustrated, you don't have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones. ↗

In the past 3-4 years I've developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I'm able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis. ↗

My songs are my kids. Some of them stay with me, some others I have to send out, out to the war. It might sound stupid and it might even sound naive, but that's just the way it is. ↗

We toyed with the idea of making it a double album, but I think that would only have confused everybody even more, so we decided to stick with the songs we picked. ↗

Being in a rock band is about touring. It's about writing songs and it's about making records but it's also about taking a wonderful smile onto that stage and making the people feel good about themselves. ↗

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time. ↗

I didn't really know what I was doing when I started. I just started writing songs. After two songs I just continued to explore it. ↗

I go in and sing the song and arrange it and mix it and that's it. It's no different than playing in clubs. ↗

With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life. ↗

But the reality is when you write a song, you should be able to strip away all the instruments and just have a song right there with an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the song should be good. ↗
