Every song, the title dictates the architecture of the song.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every song asks to be sung in a different way.
Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.
You have to have that organizational principle behind the song.
The story behind every song is individual to itself.
Every song is different.
Each song has its own life.
When I start writing, I'll have a vague concept or I'll just have a title, and the song just goes on its own direction. Usually it goes in many directions within each song. They get really convoluted sometimes.
The main objective in any song, the songs that I write, has always been that it reflect the way I feel, that it touch me when I'm finished with it, that it moves me, that it can take me along with it and involve me in what its saying.
Every song is like a painting.
Everything I do, whether it's producing or signing an artist, always starts with the songs. When I'm listening, I'm looking for a balance that you could see in anything. Whether it's a great painting or a building or a sunset.
