Instead of slashing my wrists, I just write a bunch of really crummy songs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That's what my life is, writing songs.
I tend to write songs critiquing myself. The best way for me to deal with stuff is to write a song about it... That's not to say all my songs are like that.
Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.
Maybe this is wrong, but I feel like I craft my songs carefully enough that I still find that fifteen years after having written one, it still works for me - I'm not cringing.
A lot of songs you write are just for exercise - just pencil sharpeners.
You can punch a wall or write a song. Just as painful either way, but you have something to show for it at the end of the day with a song.
I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.
It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.
When you're playing such brilliant music every day, then the last thing you ever want to do is try to write something of your own that's crude and not as good.
I don't really write songs anymore.
