I've followed the lives of great musicians and have learned that you don't have to always write in pain. You have all of your past experiences, feelings, and thoughts that you can turn on when you need them and turn off when you don't.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Pain is such an important thing in life. I think that as an artist you have to experience suffering.
I think you can feel the pain I've experienced in my music. It's something that a lot of people can relate to.
I have been able to tap into all the negative things that can happen to me throughout my life by numbing myself to the pain so to speak and kind of being able to vent it through my music.
I think it's really cool to embrace the pain of something that may have hurt you and be able to express it through music.
It is painful to relive things that have caused emotional crises or whatever and find ways to express that musically.
I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.
I always go in very emotionally when I'm doing music. Sad or happy, I'm always into it. I have a hard time writing for other people, writing with someone else in mind.
I don't write anything down - it comes from my head and my soul and my heart and my pain. That allows me to make the best music I can make.
I felt like I had a really bad case of writer's block... Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
I'll never sing something that I've never been through. So even if I didn't write it, I have to have at least experienced it.
