That is what intrigues me; songwriting and song structure and expression.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.
It's not just music. To me, it's songwriting more than anything. A lot of people say it's expression, but to me, it's more than that.
Songwriting is an art unto itself, not to be confused with performing.
When you write songs, you can't really point out the exact thing you're inspired by. It's more a state or a mood or an atmosphere that you're trying to put into words.
It's the coolest part about writing music. I don't know how other people work, but so much is derived from some amalgamation of all these different songs that I love. That's why they jump all over the place.
That's my favorite part about songwriting, the way you write a song, and someone else might hear it a different way.
I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
Our perception of songs that we've written... the meaning changes from day to day... to whatever stage we're at in our life and careers.
Sometimes when you're writing a song and that song comes into your head, it definitely comes from somewhere, like a real experience.
Songwriting is too mysterious and uncontrolled a process for me to direct it towards any one thing.
