It's a weird thing to say you want people to be sick of your song, but I guess that's what happens if your song goes really well.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's nice if people ask to use your song. You have to make a decision as an artist how you feel about that.
I don't do any songs that I'm sick of now - sometimes even songs that I request. If I'm sick of 'em I don't do 'em even for myself.
The funny thing is, people's perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they're still going to read what they want to into it.
It bugs me that people think my songs are personal because it means I have to explain myself all the time.
It doesn't bother me when people try to deconstruct my songs - because at least they're looking at the lyrics, and paying attention to the way the story is told.
The whole beauty of music is that it goes where your words won't let you.
Some people don't like my songs because they think they're too simple or easy or not that thought-out. I feel like the way I write is pretty simple, in some ways, because I'm trying to connect. I want a lot of people to hear it, and be moved in some way.
The thing is, I make music I like. So it's just weird if someone says they don't like it.
If people respond to the songs, whether they love you or hate you, then you've really done your job. You've evoked something.
Sometimes if a song hits me really good the first time, I get sick of it. And by the 10th time I've heard it, it's just candy, and I don't like it anymore.
