I think I drift toward sad love songs.

The saddest songs are written when a person is happy.

I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.

I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world.

For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.

I think often sadness is a great place to get songs from.

The thing is, unfortunately, I write the best songs when I'm miserable.

Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.'

I don't think of my songs as sad songs. I think of them as vulnerable and honest. I crack jokes in between songs, so people don't leave feeling too dark.
