If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything. Songs will outlast the artist and they will go on for ever if they are good.

I wasn't thinking of the longevity of any of my songs, but I am extremely pleased with the lasting effect.

It's interesting how songs can evolve. Sometimes I'll write a song that feels relevant in the moment, but four years later, I don't want to sing it anymore. Then something will happen in my life, and the song becomes relevant again.

The key to longevity is to learn every aspect of music that you can.

If I like a song, I'll just keep playing it, and it never gets old.

Music's staying power is a function of how timeless the lyrics, song and production are.

I just know that I love to write songs, and I have for a long time.

To make a song is a gift, and once it's done it keeps evolving and changing and becomes a tool to interact with other people. It's like a conversation.

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

If a song was ever good, it's still good.
