I tend to write songs that are about something pretty specific. A lot of them tell some kind of little made-up story.

If you're dealing with a musical in which you're trying to tell a story, it's got to sound like speech. At the same time it's got to be a song.

My music is part of the quest I have to find new ways of telling stories, and also, I want to inspire people.

All of the musicians when I was young used to always say you had to tell a story when you're a musician.

When people tell really good stories in songs, I really like it.

I want to tell stories and make people feel good. That's when music is at its finest.

Music is a lens through which to see who we are. Every phrase of every piece of music is trying to tell a story.

It's hard to write music for specific things, because I'm always writing just to write.

I just try to tell a story with a song, and be able to try to transmit the emotion to you. That's all I'm really trying to do.

My songs are somewhere between story and situation. There's also character and mood. I'm an intuitive writer, both with instrumentals and songs with words.
