A song is a song and a hit record can change a life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What I've learned is that music affects the way you feel. A song can change someone's life.
A song can take you to a special time in your life.
Our perception of songs that we've written... the meaning changes from day to day... to whatever stage we're at in our life and careers.
I try to write life and not songs. People live life, and when you write life, you're going to mess around and touch somebody's heart, and they'll relate to you and what you're singing about.
Songs are a way to express what I have felt. A way to understand what happened to me or to other people.
Sometimes a song indicates that it wants to be about a certain thing. And then if you write it, you find that it is about something that you've done.
I don't know if any genuine, meaningful change could ever result from a song. It's kind of like throwing peanuts at a gorilla.
You must pass your days in song. Let your whole life be a song.
There's certain songs that you're gonna record that you hope to touch people and change lives, and there's certain songs that you know that are not going to be that serious.
When you write a song, a song has longevity.
