I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat. I don't tend to write for a particular band - you have to just write the songs and then let God into the room and let the music tell you what to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies.
Writing songs is about trying to connect with people on a deeper spiritual level - but I'm not a fan of contemporary Christian music.
It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.
Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs.
I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.
I like writing songs - I keep saying that one day I'll do something with them, but I haven't yet.
I generally prefer to come in to the studio with a fully written song and then work on the arrangement with the band. Sometimes even the arrangements are pretty much already worked out in my head, but other times we experiment.
I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.
I was clear that I wanted to do music and I wanted to write songs. But I wasn't clear about how I was going to make that happen. I wrote loads of songs but didn't want to show them to anyone.
I have yet to have a successful outcome of sitting in a room with someone and trying to write a song. The way that I generally co-write is that someone else writes the music or part of the music.
