I'm really a very weak musicologist. Wish it weren't so, but there's only so much you can dig deeply into in one lifetime, as if you hadn't noticed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a songwriter, I feel like, just for inspiration and research purposes, I have to listen to everything.
I actually have a degree in music and was aware that music was a tool used in therapy. I didn't realize how far it had come since I was in college in the mid-seventies.
Well you know, I've been into music my whole life, so to be able to put an album together with some of that music was awesome.
I'm a massive sucker for music documentaries.
As a songwriter, it's very hard to listen to music that's not coming from the heart and soul, personally.
It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.
I really feel like I've written my most effective music in the instrumental realms.
Well, a few years ago I think I could have given you a more enthusiastic answer about that but in the last few years, for the first time in my life, I really haven't listened to much music. I used to work with music on and now I don't.
Like most musicians, I'm good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what we've done in the past.
I really haven't strayed too far, musically, from my roots.
