For music, unlike a $500 software program, people are paying a buck or two a song, and it's those dollars and pennies that have to add up to pay for not just the cost of that song, but the investment in the next song.

The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.

I am not greedy, so I would gladly give a song to someone else to sing if it makes more sense.

Doing the instrumental thing, you're really looking for the power of the melody to carry the record.

Some songs you get. Some songs you may not. And I think that's the beauty of art: to question and to ask, to understand the deeper meaning after two or three or four listenings.

But the greatest thing about music is putting it out there for people to figure out. You want the listener to find the song on their own. If you give too much away, it takes away from the imagination.

It's nice if people ask to use your song. You have to make a decision as an artist how you feel about that.

I think it's important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There's no code, there's no craft... it's just let yourself shine through your music. If it's meant to be loved and heard, it'll happen.

Sometimes it's nice to have a song that can be taken more then one way, so it can be interpreted differently.
