I tend to write songs critiquing myself. The best way for me to deal with stuff is to write a song about it... That's not to say all my songs are like that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.
I usually don't write songs by people calling me and saying, 'Write a song about this.' Usually I'm just going with what I want to write, so you never know.
I'm not like other writers. I'm not hung up on using my own songs. In fact, my sister Bunny always tells me I sing other people's songs better than my own. She says I loosen up and give the songs a different feel.
When you write a song, there's no point keeping it to yourself.
I like writing and don't confine myself to just the words or just the music. But I don't particularly write songs with myself in mind.
I'm not very good at writing songs when I have a lot of clutter in my mind.
Sometimes when I write songs, I don't know what they're about, and it just suddenly comes to me.
Very often, writing a song is a process that happens to me rather than one that I instigate. I feel a song coming on and, like a sneeze; I wait for it until it comes.
When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.
I write most songs randomly. They don't always deal with something I've been through but something I think is important to tell.
