I think songwriting is the ultimate form of being able to make anything that happens in your life productive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Songwriting is something that's very daunting until you have your first successful song, I think.
Songwriting is kind of like a craft. It's not something that just comes in a dream. You've got to work at it.
Songwriting is actually a really great outlet. I kind of recommend it. You get to sum up whatever is going on in your life in a song, then perform it really passionately.
I enjoy recording and performing, but it's the songwriting that I love most.
Everything in life influences my music. I've always used songwriting as a means to share what I think is profound.
The key to songwriting is just to be able to observe, and put yourself in situations to be around people, and let those ideas come to you.
Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn't get some of that stuff out.
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
Songwriting is therapeutic for me.
I've never thought about songwriting as a weapon. I've only thought about it as a way to help me get through love and loss and sadness and loneliness and growing up.
