A lot of people say I wouldn't have a down day, but you look at the music and there's real melancholy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't have any down days. If anybody who knows me comes into our locker room, they know I'm happy; they know I'm cheerful.
There's a lot of melancholy in my tracks.
I listen to music when I'm feeling down or just a certain way. I don't know what I'd do without it!
I couldn't imagine a day without music. It relaxes and stimulates me in equal measure and I hate the sound of silence - the concept, I mean, not the track by Simon and Garfunkel.
When you have a song on the radio your career and your life changes maybe for the better and maybe for the not so good... depending on how it's going that day.
I think melancholy is part of the natural condition, you know. Anyway, I think it's the artist's function to have their melancholy and not hide it, you see.
I am a melancholy type of person.
I definitely don't sit down every day and make a new song.
It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.
You choose to be happy, and in life we have as many good days as bad days. I try to find and record those songs that pull you through the bad days, and keep you believing that the good days are just around the corner.
