Songs won't save the planet, but neither will books or speeches.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.
When I write, I don't have any expectation of what kind of song it will become or who it might reach.
If our music survives, which I have no doubt it will, then it will because it is good.
Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.
When you leave the planet, you leave music behind.
Songs you can dip in and out of, but a book... well, it can overpower you.
As society changes, as politics change, as people change, certain songs still seem to resonate.
I'm not trying to save the world. As a musician and artist, it just ain't me.
Music will save the world.
The best thing that can happen is that a song you've written will live in the world so people can hear it.
