I try to just encompass the entire feeling and emotion behind the song the best way possible, and if that's 100,000 screaming guitars right in your face, then that's what's going down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think when you have raw emotion in a song, it makes it great.
So pretty much, to sum it up, if you can freak someone out and bring that kind of emotion out of somebody with a song, you're doing something right.
It's always nice to be able to capture your life's experiences in a song and hold the emotion in that way.
The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.
Music is an emotion, and I put it out there.
I'm a big music person. I compare a lot of my emotions to how something sounds.
I think most of my songs are based on an emotion and in every song I write, there's at least a partial truth.
I am never excited to play through a song all the way, because it can reveal more flaws that mean more work. For some reason, I always have an irrational fear that the song will never be finished.
When I go to a gig and I hear a song that I really like, a song that hits home to me or hits an emotional nerve, if I could ever recreate that for someone, that would be the ultimate goal.
I always want to bring emotion across in a straightforward way. I don't want to get histrionic when I'm singing. For me that's just not interesting; it goes too far down one road.
