It's funny; Luther and I have written many songs together, but we've never written songs in the same room.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a songwriter, there's nothing better than winning Song Of The Year. But I couldn't really celebrate, because it wasn't right. Luther wasn't standing next to me, to receive the award.
I have yet to have a successful outcome of sitting in a room with someone and trying to write a song. The way that I generally co-write is that someone else writes the music or part of the music.
As a singer-songwriter, a solo artist with a guitar, I can only write so many weepie little bedroom songs.
I can't sing, like, I can't saaang. I'm no Luther! That to me is singing. Being able to hit a note doesn't mean you can sing.
I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.
I'm not an extremely prolific writer. I don't write songs all the time.
I don't know why, but I don't fancy writing love songs; I never have.
Every record we do, we do one song we didn't write.
I didn't write this song. Someone was talking in a room. I just wrote down everything they said.
We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together; we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians.
