There are so many songs out there in the world that - if I know we have to come up with a new cover, then I'll just sit in my room and sing song after song and figure out which one I can kind of sing the best.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like to sing covers of songs that are at the extreme ends from what I usually listen to.
And this one I wanted to do some covers. So I just really sang some of my favorite songs.
I like to do cover songs if I really love them, I have to love the song first.
That's one of my problems is that there are so many songs to sing that I sort of get indecisive about what I want to do in a show - because there are so many possibilities! There are so many great songs out there.
There are so many great songs yet to sing.
Cover versions, that's my forte, that's all I ever used to do. When you play your own songs, it's quite scary, 'cause I'm quite honest and open, they can be very revealing. But covers, I don't have to think about, just get me up there!
I've always thought that whether I'm writing or not, I've gotta pick the best songs, whether or not they're mine. I'm not gonna sing them just because I wrote them. I've gotta find the best songs to make the best record I can.
I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isn't a song that I need to sing.
I wanted to write songs that were as good as the covers.
My idea of covers is that you should never cover a song and do it exactly like the artist because everyone's always going to compare it to the way the original artists did it, and they're just going to go, 'Oh I like the original better.'
