I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I actually find a lot of pleasure in writing lyrics.
I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer's block, it's more to do with lyrics than anything else.
I get writer's block all the time. The only way I can write what I consider to be good lyrics is to put myself through the mill.
I usually write lyrics first, and then when I get home or close to any kind of instrument, I usually make a melody for those lyrics.
I try and journal every day, and that's where a lot of my lyric comes from.
Usually, writing lyrics for me is like bleeding drop by drop from the forehead.
I've written probably over 200 songs that have a verse and a chorus and that's it.
The lyrics are always the last thing I do. I always have a recording of basic tracks and maybe some of the lead work. I'll sit back and listen to it, and I'll just concentrate on what kind of feeling it gives me. My goal writing the lyrics is to not disrupt that feeling.
So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well.
I've never written lyrics. I get up in front of a microphone, and I just sing what comes to the top of my head.
