I feel like songwriting is an experiment in empathy.
From Zooey Deschanel
The moment you sense someone is making something because they think people are gonna buy it or like it, it's just so phony! The public has a nose for phony like nobody else.
I have been a harmony enthusiast since I was a child, singing in choir and with friends growing up. I always put a ton of harmonies on my demos.
Secretly, I think everyone who makes fun of California really does want to be in California.
I listened to a lot of Joni Mitchell in high school. She was sort of an inspiration to me. I think she's a great lyricist, and she makes interesting choices.
I appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.
