Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.

You can cage the singer but not the song.

It's easy for a singer to sometimes pick up on another singer's sound, but that's just copying.

You have to have that organizational principle behind the song.

The process depends on the situation, and I don't think there are any two songs that have gone exactly the same way... well, actually, that's not true.

If you can't get your songs to people one way, you have to find another.

So it's not so much that I set out to do something different, it's just that the songs themselves require their own individual voice and attention.

I try to find little things that you can do to move the song along and things that serve the song.

Really the only thing holding a lot of records together is the personality of the singer, and the will to write all of these different things.

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.
