When my dad passed, there's a lot of sadness right below the surface, and I think there will be until the day I die. So, writing sad songs helps it. And when I sing them, it's pure therapy for me.

I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world.
It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something.

Song-writing is therapy for me. I'm a very moody person, very difficult to live with. There's a lot going on and a lot of contradictions. My life is always one step away from disaster.
I won't sing if I don't feel it, so there's always so much sadness and so much sentiment behind it all.
I take my inspiration for the song writing from little experiences, not even if I've experienced them myself but say if something has made me sad, I will use that emotion. I just use everyday life and write about it.
