If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to assume no one would care, but I do think now I've written songs that are useful to people having dark hours.
The real danger of writing a great song when you're on something is that it might get you thinking that the only way to repeat that is by only writing when you're high.
For me, how I feel about what I wrote down turns into a song.
I don't really see how any song can not feel contrived if it isn't honest, and how could I write honest songs if I don't write about stuff going on in my life and how I'm feeling?
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.
My music is a little dark, and my lyrics are a little darker. Every day, I'm fighting towards the light.
I think my songwriting might be a little more on the darker side maybe.
My first instinct when I write songs is not a negative one. It's something positive... Everything I've ever done has some form of hope in it, I think.
I write most of my songs when I'm in a bad mood.
I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs; they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.
