When I start writing, I'll have a vague concept or I'll just have a title, and the song just goes on its own direction. Usually it goes in many directions within each song. They get really convoluted sometimes.

All of our songs take these really big creative turns and twists throughout the process, so sometimes songs will start out as a melody or some musical chord progressions.

Sometimes when you're writing a song and that song comes into your head, it definitely comes from somewhere, like a real experience.

Songs are really interesting in that way. Sometimes, they grow with you. Sometimes, you outgrow them.

To make a song is a gift, and once it's done it keeps evolving and changing and becomes a tool to interact with other people. It's like a conversation.

It's hard enough to make a good song and a good recording of that song. But to try to tailor it to some outside force is just like - It's never been a factor in what I've done or what the band's done.

A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.

Every time I write a song my approach changes.

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