My songs tend to sprint toward some epiphany and then explode.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My songs emerge from my life, or wherever they do, unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own.
One of my big fears is people saying my songs are all starting to sound the same.
Most of my songs start out as being very aggressive and guitar-driven.
My songs pretty much revolve in my brain most of the time - usually, whatever's coming next.
I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.
I try not to repeat myself in fills in all the Rush songs unless it is something simple or something I feel is my own characteristic thing.
I tend to gravitate toward ballads and mid-tempo songs.
I've done a couple of songs which are not up to the mark. So, mentally, I've set a goal that I should be more dynamic and try and push myself as much as I can.
I tend to feel really protective of songs, and if they aren't sitting well in a record, I'll pull them tight to my chest until I feel it's a better time.
I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.
