After that, I specifically started writing lyrics. I would like sweat and think and get it all together.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I kind of need to be ambulatory to write lyrics.
I really wanted to work hard on my lyrics.
But then you have to write a song, so at that point, I picked up the reins and started to write lyrics.
I always start with the music and then try to figure out what I want to write about lyrically.
In those days, it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through, and write it down.
I have a really hard time writing my own lyrics for this record, because one, I had to write so many and also I was kind of perplexed by the idea of how I was going to sing and play... because at that time, we hadn't really thought about asking someone else.
I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs 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.
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.
I wish I could write lyrical poems, but I just write the way they come.
