It's amazing what some people read into songs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's the coolest part about writing music. I don't know how other people work, but so much is derived from some amalgamation of all these different songs that I love. That's why they jump all over the place.
When people tell really good stories in songs, I really like it.
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.
I think there's just so many people in the world that don't feel understood, and when you hear a song and you go, 'Oh, that song understands me,' that's an amazing feeling. I get it when I listen to the radio... That's a beautiful part of music.
There is a lot of melody and things that sound familiar in hundreds of songs.
It's interesting to do other people's music - that's how I learned to play, by learning other people's songs. It's nice to delve into how other people got to where they are.
If you look at the content of songs people write, it's usually about the things they know best.
A great song is a great song.
It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.
Some people try and tell you what the songs are about and it bores me to death.
