#songs

I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That's what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it. ↗

I write songs. Then, I record them. And, later, maybe I perform them on stage. That's what I do. That's my job. Simple. ↗

I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes. ↗

I have writing songs on my own for about six years. ↗

#i #my own #own #six #songs

Well, yeah, I wanted to resist the urge to thicken everything up with instrumentation, because I just felt like I was interested in seeing how the songs did on their own. ↗

To look for some kind of insight or meaning in pop songs is not really - well there's plenty of other places where you should probably look first before you start looking for it in a pop song. ↗
