I have written most of my melodies walking and I feel it is definitely one of the most helpful ways of sewing all of the different things in your life together and seeing the whole picture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always been a writer who does simplistic, simple melodies. But I think it works.
Melodies are important. I always kind of pride myself on my melodies.
Whether it be personal or musical, I just think I'm a walking art piece, just a ball of creativity.
For me, songwriting is something I have to do ritually. I don't just wait for inspiration; I try to write a little bit every day.
It's hard - some people get inspired by a feeling, but I'm mostly inspired by melodies.
It's part of what I do at my piano - the hymns. And then I write.
I'm a songwriter, and I understand artistic licence. We can embellish, go on little journeys and explore our inner selves. It can be quite self-indulgent.
I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.
I really like melodies.
We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together; we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians.
