I'm definitely still putting effort into my lyrics, for them to be emotional and tell a story.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My music and my lyrics are essentially emotional postcards.
I really wanted to work hard on my lyrics.
I find it harder to write the lyrics afterwards because then you're just trying to fit them into something that's already there.
It's weird to try to write lyrics for somebody else. They can't really get behind what you're saying or what you want them to say because they didn't experience it.
I actually find a lot of pleasure in writing lyrics.
My songs are all about celebrating poignant music. While some of them focus on fun and revelry, they are fortunately backed by powerful lyrics. Put together, the lyrics, tune and my voice strive to take the songs to the next level.
In those days, it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through, and write it down.
You know, I've sung a lot of emotional songs in my life, but when you're writing it yourself, it's very difficult to decide what to reveal.
I'm such an emotional and sensitive person, so it only makes sense that my songs are as well.
The lyrics are always the last thing I do. I always have a recording of basic tracks and maybe some of the lead work. I'll sit back and listen to it, and I'll just concentrate on what kind of feeling it gives me. My goal writing the lyrics is to not disrupt that feeling.
