Songs are about just being totally honest and putting those words to music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What's the point of a song if you can't be honest?
It's just about being honest. I listen to a lot of stuff that's out there, some of which I wrote, and I'm like, 'Where is that? Where's the honesty?' So that's what I want to get to in my music now.
You can tell an honest artist from one who's just given all their songs.
Songs are not better just because they're emotionally honest. To write a song well, you have to put some work into it and grind it out.
I don't really see how any song can not feel contrived if it isn't honest, and how could I write honest songs if I don't write about stuff going on in my life and how I'm feeling?
Being honest is my job. That's what music is for me.
The whole beauty of music is that it goes where your words won't let you.
If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.
Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
These seem to me so ambiguous, so vague, so easily misunderstood in comparison to genuine music, which fills the soul with a thousand things better than words.
