I have come up with very creative ideas that really didn't work with the song I was currently composing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even though there is randomness and improvisation in my music, I want to have some concrete idea that I can hold onto.
When you do music, your friends are writers, actors, painters. It's all under the same roof. So anything creative is interesting to me.
I'll try not to let a day go by without making a song. I don't think I've created a lot of music.
I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.
My goal is to think of nothing when I'm writing a song because too many influences could sabotage a potentially amazing song.
I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.
I tend to write songs that are about something pretty specific. A lot of them tell some kind of little made-up story.
I have never had too much trouble for creative ideas to spring up in my mind.
With my gift, I can pretty much write a song out of anything.
Songwriting is too mysterious and uncontrolled a process for me to direct it towards any one thing.
