If I can sit down at my keyboard and have a melody that says something that I can't with words, that's a really beautiful thing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I mean if I'm in the middle of a field with my keyboard and some headphones and I feel inspired to write something, I'll just write something really beautiful and mellow.
With my gift, I can pretty much write a song out of anything.
I'm able to sometimes express things even more articulately on the piano than I am with singing.
The whole beauty of music is that it goes where your words won't let you.
There's nothing prettier in the world than a melody. I can get lost in a song with a melody. A lot of times I have, and the song wasn't that good, but I would get lost in that melody, and I'd want to do the song.
My music is simple stuff. Anybody can sit down, look at a set of symbols and produce sounds the music represents.
Writing a simple melody can take weeks to get it right where I want it, but I do quite enjoy it.
Even if I'm writing music, it's with a lyric in mind, to communicate some kind of feeling.
It's a big plethora of music floating around in my head all the time, and I'll sit there and write a song.
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.
