Music tells you about the artist and what they were thinking about at the time, because the person has to think about it to sing it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you're writing a song, you have to know two things. You have to know who you are, and you have to think about other people.
It's tough hearing your voice on the radio, on a chorus, and knowing that people think it's another artist.
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.
When you write a song you have an idea of how it should be sung but it doesn't work out that way if someone else records it.
A song is a lot of things. But, first of all, a song is the voice of its time. Setting words to music gives them weight, makes then somehow easier to say, and it helps them to be remembered.
In music, you feel a connection to the voice and think about the person behind it. In art that's secondary.
To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.
It's always interesting - how do you actually convey thought through song? We're used to the convention on stage. In film, we used to be used to it, and now sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You need to be fresh and really look at the material.
I think it's always interesting how music means different things to different people, and people who overthink it are looking to in some ways show off with music, versus people who just respond to a song and decide to sing it.
Music is a lens through which to see who we are. Every phrase of every piece of music is trying to tell a story.
