The hardest song to write is a protest song, a topical song with meaning.

I've gotten to a point where I don't want lyrics to mean anything.

You can say things a million times, but if you can't sing it, then it really isn't much of a song.

Slogans which deafened us so that we could not hear the truth.

A song is the most intangible thing in the world.

Traditionally, songwriters can't sing. And that holds true in my case, also.

There's only so many things to sing about, so what's going to make a song appeal to you more than someone else's is just a unique way of saying the same thing.

I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isn't a song that I need to sing.

It's very easy to have slogans and rhetoric that people will follow, but eventually the slogans fall away.
