#songs

I'm always looking for great songs, and not being much of a songwriter, I depend on great songwriters to send them to me. I go through tons of stuff, and sometimes you just find material that kind of fits and becomes something special. ↗

I've always thought that whether I'm writing or not, I've gotta pick the best songs, whether or not they're mine. I'm not gonna sing them just because I wrote them. I've gotta find the best songs to make the best record I can. ↗

Of all the songs I've recorded, 'Amarillo By Morning' always sticks out in my mind. ↗

For some reason, I'm really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs. ↗

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol. ↗

I'm not afraid to write my feelings in songs. ↗

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane. ↗

Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less. ↗

Some of those songs, you really have to bite them. You challenge yourself, you challenge the audience, you do something different. People weren't expecting it. ↗

I don't think you need a record deal to write songs. You don't need any other reason than you want to do it. It's a far cry from why some people do music today. They make it to order, which is pretty horrible. ↗
