Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a songwriter, it's very hard to listen to music that's not coming from the heart and soul, personally.
As a songwriter, I feel like, just for inspiration and research purposes, I have to listen to everything.
One quality of a good songwriter is to be vague. A vague notion, a vague image, but enough to give the listener the opportunity to make more out of what's being said than is there. That's the great thing about Bob Dylan's songs: We the listeners have made more out of them than he ever intended.
I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
Songwriting is hard - it's so easy to fall into the same traps. It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.
The thing is, I'm not a prolific songwriter.
I'm not a natural songwriter.
You can't write about stuff you don't know about. You have to live it. You have to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. Live life to be a good songwriter.

As I've matured as a songwriter, I realize that if it's out there, it's mine.
