I feel like my songs are like diary entries for me. So I usually write about things that have happened to me specifically or sometimes it can be someone who's close to me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd say most of my songs I write from personal experience. When I feel like I don't have any inspiration in my personal life, I think about others that are close to me and maybe what they're going through or even just people I've come across, acquaintances.
My songs form a kind of biography or diary of my life as they are about people I have loved and people I only knew in my heart, places I have seen only for a moment and places I have lived all my life.
My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a personal nightmare.
Not to take anything away from artists who don't write their own songs, but it's always been important to me to make sure it's my story.
I'm just writing songs about how I feel or about how people I know feel.
I like to write songs about what's happening, what I see around me and what I hear. Everyday life. Someone may be talking to me and I may take it from that.
I usually don't write songs by people calling me and saying, 'Write a song about this.' Usually I'm just going with what I want to write, so you never know.
Personal relationships are usually my biggest inspirations for writing my songs. The best way for me to write a song is to visualise the story in my head, and I start humming a melody, and before you know it, a song is born.
I tend to write songs that are about something pretty specific. A lot of them tell some kind of little made-up story.
I write most songs randomly. They don't always deal with something I've been through but something I think is important to tell.
