I didn't know that there were many rules in music when I first started writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't really know that there's any real rules for songwriting.
There's a basic rule which runs through all kinds of music, kind of an unwritten rule. I don't know what it is. But I've got it.
There aren't any rules, as far as anything-and that applies especially to writing songs, whatever gets the point across. So you're just kind of brought up to feel-in any field, if you say you can do it, do it. There it is.
There were no rules, other than that the song should sound good and be fun to play.
I remember thinking during those times that I wanted to write in a way where there are no rules.
I don't care about the rules. In fact, if I don't break the rules at least 10 times in every song then I'm not doing my job properly.
I had made all these rules for myself: I'm not writing social commentary, I'm not writing love songs.
Music is the only thing I've ever known that doesn't have any rules at all.
There are no rules when I compose songs.
I learned that music should be fun and should be a way to express yourself - that there aren't really any rules.
