My darlings, if I can't write dark, epic music, I can't live!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light, If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.
I try to write lyrics so that they won't age, which sort of leaves you with the big subjects like death and love and sex and violence.
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'm a songwriter, that's what I love.
My wife is cool enough to let me write about personal things, to be a songwriter exploring the shadowy sides of love.
I'll be writing songs till I die. There's just no question.
My music is a little dark, and my lyrics are a little darker. Every day, I'm fighting towards the light.
As a singer-songwriter, a solo artist with a guitar, I can only write so many weepie little bedroom songs.
I can't write songs unless I am in love.
With my gift, I can pretty much write a song out of anything.
