Quote

The most despairing songs are the most beautiful, and I know some immortal ones that are pure tears.

I don't think of my songs as sad songs. I think of them as vulnerable and honest. I crack jokes in between songs, so people don't leave feeling too dark.

I think I drift toward sad love songs.

I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.

Thank God for beautiful songs about feeling despair when you yourself are in despair. They really get us through.

With sad music, or music that's perceived as sad, there's a sense of solidarity that can be really powerful. My songs are all joyful to me.

I know for works for me - those wonderful sad love songs.

I won't sing if I don't feel it, so there's always so much sadness and so much sentiment behind it all.
