I actually had a week where I literally wrote four songs and all of them are on my album. But sometimes you'll go a week where you'll write songs and they never see the light of day. So that process takes a long time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had to go into a studio and compose and write and press up 12 songs in 14 hours. When you're recording a song from scratch it takes you 14 hours to do just one song.
We just wrote songs that seemed good to us. We wrote the album in like two weeks. We could have had more time, but we accomplished what we needed to in the two weeks.
Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less.
I always had to wait until something hit me, and I could write it. But when I would cut an album, to me it represented the time that I spent since the last one. Just the way I was looking at the world.
If I could make albums quicker, I'd be on a roll wouldn't I? Everything just seems to take so much time. I don't know why. Time... evaporates.
When making the first album, I think I wrote a song about every six months. The first album was so much about the vocals carrying it.
Songs seem to take me a long time. I don't know why; they're not especially excellent for taking so long.
So many good songs get written fast, because you know exactly what has to work.
It takes us about four or five days to get an album out.
It doesn't take me long to write songs.
