Not only is your story worth telling, but it can be told in words so painstakingly eloquent that it becomes a song.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The great thing about a song is that no one has to know your story. But if you tell it in a way that has clarity and means something to somebody else, then it can apply to their story.
When people tell really good stories in songs, I really like it.
I think every good song tells a story, as ambiguous and vague as it may be. And if you know what a song is talking about, it can only help your performance.
I try to tell a story musically in a song.
Not to take anything away from artists who don't write their own songs, but it's always been important to me to make sure it's my story.
The whole point of music is being able to share your story. I've been songwriting for a long time, usually while on the road, as a way to get my feelings out.
There are definitely some stories worth telling and I think there's something to be said for telling your story.
I'll take a certain concern of my own or a situation and try to frame it around a fictional story, but sometimes just straight-up autobiographical songs work well, and sometimes a story is better. I like stories. I like to hear them. I don't think there are enough of them in songs anymore.
I've realized that I owe people a look behind the scenes of my own story, because I don't think anyone can have a true understanding of the music without an insight into where it came from.
When you write a song, the goal is not to convey the details of your life. You should write a memoir or something if that's what you're going to do.
