A song that sounds simple is just not that easy to write. One of the objectives of this record was to try and write melodies that continue to resonate.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Writing songs has always been hard and easy. It's not always easy when you want it to be, and then sometimes it's just like turning on the faucet. That's just the nature of it.
It's never easy to write a song. It's the most difficult thing I do.
I find great beauty in songs with a creative interpretation, but most people generally don't get that, and go for the simple songs, but I prefer something a bit more complicated, which is more meaningful to the creator.
But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story.
There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.' I'm going through that right now.
It's very hard to write a song alone. It's only by jamming that you can get a song together.
I've always been a writer who does simplistic, simple melodies. But I think it works.
All my music is very simple in that melody is usually clearly stated.
It is easy to write unthinking music.
Writing a song is actually quite easy. Writing a good one is very, very difficult.
