My downfall emotionally is musicians and songwriters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I write emotional music.
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'm a songwriter. Everything affects me.
Music is the emotional life of most people.
The thing is, unfortunately, I write the best songs when I'm miserable.
Songwriting is therapeutic for me.
When younger writers and poets, musicians and painters are weakened by a stemming of funds, they come to me saddened, not as full of dreams and excitement and ideas. I am then weakened and diminished, and made less rich.
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'm a failed musician rather than a successful writer.
I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world.
