It's a big plethora of music floating around in my head all the time, and I'll sit there and write a song.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I'll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know I've written a whole song in an hour.
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.
I like to write songs about what's happening, what I see around me and what I hear.
I just sit down and write the best song for the best moment, and however it comes out, it is what it is.
I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.
I don't sit down to write a song, per se.
I try to keep the idea that there's an audience in as little space in my mind as possible, but you can't erase it entirely, the idea that when you're sitting down to write a song, people are going to hear it.
I'm usually really drawn to a song, and I know it would be good to cover if it sounds like something that I could write, or I wished I could write. Sometimes a writer just sounds like they're in your head, and that is really cool for me.
It's part of what I do at my piano - the hymns. And then I write.
I don't really have time to sit down and write. But when I think of a melody, I call up my answering machine and sing it, so I won't forget it.
