Sometimes it's nice to have a song that can be taken more then one way, so it can be interpreted differently.

People write music, and the music is out there for people to interpret it how they want to.

After talking to people and meeting them every day, I realize that a song can be written from one perspective with an objective in mind. What is crazy about it is that many different people can take one song a totally different way. That is so cool, since music is a universal thing and a very personal thing.

It's better for the listener to interpret their own meanings to the music.

When there are no lyrics, people can picture what they want. It's a reflection of where they are in their lives. Music becomes a mirror.

When you do have songs where you're going to say something, some kind of statement about cultural or social stuff, that in general people love it. People love to be challenged in that way.

In our world, as artists, the only time I'm allowed to express myself is through song.

I love when people get songs wrong. I love when people take something from a song that's totally not what I intended!

I don't actually like explaining the meanings of my songs, because I think people can take away more from it if they use their imagination.

It's hard to believe the life that 'Someone Like You' has taken on. It's proof that people hunger for great songs - and they are open to different interpretations of songs they love.
