I don't want to hear songs about how sunshiny things are. I don't like songs that feel like radio candy... I like the ones that make you think, laugh or cry - they pull some kind of emotion out of you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.
The most entertaining songs don't always come from a nice place. In songs where I think I'm being really sensitive, they seem quite boring actually. I've found that the songs that come out of nastier, more misanthropic places are better.
They are very personal, emotional songs - people react to them very strongly.
I don't do any songs that I'm sick of now - sometimes even songs that I request. If I'm sick of 'em I don't do 'em even for myself.
I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling.
I don't think of my songs as sad songs. I think of them as vulnerable and honest. I crack jokes in between songs, so people don't leave feeling too dark.
The songs from your childhood, when you hear them you get chills all over.
I don't like when a song goes from one mood to another unless it's going to be out of sight.
I like songs with a lot of heart and feeling and subtlety.
The songs that I like are the ones that you can't visualize, that are just cries from the heart - those very straight, direct songs that make rock & roll music so wonderful.
